Here is a vid of me testing the short full auto version with and without a suppressor.

The sound/pic sync got FU'd a bit because I have converted the original file to .avi .

I'll be more than happy to answer any questions...

not a question really... I see you are firing regular rounds. Kinda noisy, what is the point having suppressor?

So it's not quite as noisy, there's a big difference between 130dB and 100dB. I've also heard a suppressor can improve accuracy be reducing gas turbulence as the bullet leaves the muzzle. Plus they look damn cool.

P.S. I'm an armchair commando and have never used a suppressor, don't quote me on this stuff.

It makes it harder to detect the source of the shot even with supersonic loads. The shot simply sound more distant than it actually is.The flash is almost totally eliminated.The gun with suppressor raises less dust when shooting close to the ground.Recoil and muzze climb are also greatly reduced thus inprooving accuracy in full auto and enabaling faster return to sight picture in rapid semi auto fire.
 
They are also almost mandatory in some areas when deer stalking in the UK on health and safety grounds, who wears ear muffs when stalking. It also does hide the direction of shot and that is more effective from a bolt action rifle than a semi. It also can massively change your point of impact!

I'd love them be mandatory here in Canada. Damn bears always come to the sound of shots for pillage. Regarding change in POI its simple barrel droop from mounted extra weight IMO. Same goes with accuracy, all those talks on turbulence and whatnot is questionable, I think accuracy improves with reduced barrel whiplash from extra weight hanging at the tip. I have seen some barrels with extra think ends that kinda backed my old theory.

I'm starting to think that way as well. I own 4 AR's and of coarse they are all restricted. I've always wanted a nice military type rifle in 5.56 and have been thinking of the SIG for some time, but the different mag has always put me off a bit (seeing that I have a good number of AR mags...) I also like the payment plan they have set up...... Hmmmmm another wack at the old Visa Card, how much more can the old girl take.... :evil:
 
I had a chance to see Tavor couple days ago. Nicely made rifle all I can say. I wish I could take it to the range and put a few roounds through it. My biggest surprise for the balance of Tavor. Whoever had bullpups before would know most of them kinda fall off your hands for they are imballanced and your shooting hand is fighting the other hand pushing in different directions to keep you gun straight. Tavor though sits pefectly, owner says its because of longer civvi barrel. Fits me like a glove. I tried aiming off hand and I can say this one is steady like off sandbag - I love that part especially.
Too bad we have to wait till October to get this gun, I want it RIGHT NOW.
 
Last time I heard it was October, although I think CanAm can give you firs hand ETA. XCR is even worse - December if you are lucky. I want both right now. Whats wrong with manufacturers, don't they like my money?
 
bullpup tayvor

How can this rifle be non-restricted if it is a bullpup? Bullpup's are illegal right?
