2: on a 22lr can i now you can run it wet but is it better to use water or the jell ??
i now they say to only use 5cc of water but what about the jell ??

Disclaimer!!!!! i don't plan on running my .22lr can wet all the time is just fun from time to time [:D]

Water & gel help to eliminate first round pop, where the suppressor still contains a lot of oxygen. Some folks like wire-pulling gel because it won't evaporate immediately if you don't use it right away. Otherwise water does the exact same thing. Both should be used sparingly, and they only last 5-10 shots in my experience. Great if you're James Bond, not super useful for anyone else [:)]

Some decent wet suppressors out there, issue is obviously the "wet" part.

But if you gata be really quite first few rounds its the way to go.

i just wanted one just for fun but not to use all the time (that is what why i have a .22lr can to use all the time)

I prefer water because the wire pulling gel seems like it would leave a mess behind in the can.

I don't do it often because, in order to make cleaning easier, I put a light coat of a grease similar to anti-seize on the monocore (fouling wipes off with paper towels) and it makes a grimy mess when adding water. Like previously mentioned, when using it on a .22 it eliminates FRP but .22 is so quiet, I cant really tell a difference once the oxygen the can is displaced and I'm shooting.

I feel it makes a bigger difference with pistol cans of a higher volume like 9mm/.45ACP even after FRP and does quiet things down a few extra dB.

I have a small plastic bottle with a medicine dropper bulb I fill with water and take to the range. That, or a plastic syringe will work to add specific amounts (to verify water volume isn't exceeding suppressor volume)

thanks for the info i need to look at that anti-seize
what do you think of a wet 9mm can over just a regular can

If it's DESIGNED to be ran wet or only offers decent suppression when wet, toss it in the garbage. You'll get SO tired of it. You want a suppressor like an octane nine that will perform well dry but allow you to put water in it if you are inclined to do so

yeah but if i trow it a way that is a lot of money lol but i see what you are saying
but i am looking at some regular 9mm suppressors and i am still looking at a 5.56 suppressor

I don't normally shoot my pistol cans "wet." it's annoying to have to do it over and over after 10 rounds. Just not practical for me personally.
