Do rifle suppressors reduce the acccuracy of the projectile?
SecretAgentMan
Not unless the baffles are sized incorrectly, and cause the projectile to come into contact with them. A properly made suppressor won't have this problem. It is, however, possible for a suppressor to affect barrel harmonics, which can reduce the accuracy of the rifle itself.
