\nAs far as the the subsonic load goes it usually has about the same amount of powder or a little less but the weight in grains of the bullet is usually substantially more thus slowing the bullet down below the speed of sound and eliminating the ballistic crack of breaking the sound barrier.
\nIf you want a good example of this order a pack of aguila 60 grain .22 LR rounds very quiet stuff even in non suspressed .22\'s you could shoot them in your basement without hearing protection.\r\n

\nThere are certain states where you can own suppressors but you have to be atleast a class II FFL dealer.Quote:

Just a round where the casing is filled with less powder before pressing in the slug in order to keep the projectile speed below the speed of sound? Or is it a special type of slug in the casing as well? | \r\n
