Ataman, AP16 suppressor ?

[MikeVV]

Like the title (sorta) says...any AP16 shooters use the Ataman branded suppressor (or silencer) on their guns ?
Curious how well this one piece (no adapter required) works as compared to a Donny, Tatsu or similar.

Thanks

Not very efficient , in fact. Better to put an adapter and the moderator you want. I put a Weirauch on my AP16 : very lightweight and works well.

Hmm, thanks aidea.

I have a two segment Huma M30 on it now, just wondering what this suppressor does to the sound. The Huma does a good job. I tried all three ways, all three segments, two and even a single segment. The best overall sound vs. length, is the two segment setup.

Just tried my new to me AP16 with the mighty STO Falx... Stupidly large and whisperlike. That being said, I have a Tanto on the way...

I originally had a Donny Tatsu on my AP16. It was ok, but I like the Huma M30 better. It's a touch smaller, and a little, but noticeably quieter.
The Tanto seems a large (larger than the Tatsu) fit to the pistol to me.

Thanks Apohlo

P.s. - I even attached my Fat Boy for the fun of it. While the Fat Boy doesn't seem to work well on any of the rifles that I tried it on, it does do a reasonably good job on the AP16 !! I put it on AP16 #2 for a while, but put a Tatsu on it for the time being.

I only used their factory suppressor because I have the silver version AP16 compact and it simply looks badass together with the tiny silver can. However it doesn't have the volume to keep the muzzle report down, just a touch less loud then without.

Cute but not quiet

Hmm, thanks for the info Dani. I kinda thought that, since it's even smaller in diameter than the Huma M30 on my #1 AP16, and that's just...ok in sound..
I guess I'll get another Huma M40. A little shorter (two segment) and smaller in diameter than the Tatsu.

BUT...I gotta say, your AP16 got me thinking.
LONG story short, I dug out an old Burris 2-7 x 28, "Scout" scope that I had for a M1, Garand, SoCom 16. Come to find out, the "Scout" and the "handgun" are basically the same scope ! I dug through a bunch of stuff and found enough parts to attach it to my #2, AP16.
It's almost as long as the gun (minus the suppressor), so I set it back as far as practical. The scope center to bore is VERY low. Had to do a little clearancing of the rail adapter so it would fit .

Photo to follow tomorrow.

Here's my latest experiment.
AP16, Burris Scout scope (2-7 x 32) and Scout, short rings, Tatsu muffler (will change to Huma M40).

I'm really surprised to see how easy it is to hold on target. I've always though that a scoped pistol would be difficult to hold solidly on target shooting freehand, as you all before me know...not so much. Only tried 2x so far though.
Need to take it to a range and do some longer distance shooting with it.

I think I like it.

Wow, good looking super plinker you've got there! I personally never wanted more than 2× magnification from a pistol scope

 

[MikeVV]

Thanks.
Yeah, I've got a couple of 3x sights/scopes, not much different. Will verify, but I'm thinking that with more magnification, the holding on target...will...get tougher, when shooting freehand.
