Last month, our man Hrachya discussed the debut of factory subsonic 7.62×39 loads that are designed to cycle semiautomatic firearms like AK47 patterned rifles. The move is a tear-inducing moment for me, to take an iconic gun and set it up as a suppressor host, seasoned with quieter ammo. Just in to retailers is the PPU Subsonic Line that includes 7.62×39 as well as 7.62×51 and 9mm offerings. Featuring brass cases, these rounds are loaded with FMJBT projectiles (FMJ for the 9mm) and heavier bullet weights for suppressor, lower-recoil use.

For those silencer-philes like myself, the introduction of quality factory subsonic 7.62x39mm opens doors to a new world of suppression. Especially when considering the Dead Air Wolverine and the KNS Adjustable Gas Piston combination for AK rifles.

Details and links are provided below.

*Note: One retailer reports that the 7.62×39 will not cycle a semiautomatic rifle. Looks like some testing is required before buying by the case.
