This youngster barely three years
old did not want to leave the shooting range, until having tried the Big Gun under his
fathers strict surveillance. The tolerable sound of a suppressed Maxim 1910 in caliber
7.62x53R was not frightening at all, but pushing the stiff trigger demanded all the power
at hand. The Reflex Suppressor R8MG was dwarfed by the large essence of the
legendary firearm, suppressor appearing only slightly larger than the original flash hider
it substituted. The veteran MG carried the suppressor with its usual dignity, knowing that
once a member of Maxim family was the first inventor to make a firearms silencer known
around the world.
Trying shooting from hip with
Russian Degtaryev DP-27 in cal. 7,62x53R created an expression worth seeing on the face of
this shooter... The DP-27 LMG was a rough but utterly reliable weapon, well liked by Finns
and captured in quantities during the extremely cold Winter War. Amount of captured
DP-27's, nicknamed "Emma", finally exceeded the number of the Finnish
LS-26's issued to troops as standard LMG. The DP-27 functions well with this T8D
Reflex Suppressor, the peculiar slow "clacketiclack" action sound being
highlighted from under the dampened muzzle noise.
MG-34 "twins" shot with
different sounds in students' shooting event in Lappeenranta - one with the usual loud
tearing noise, the other with curious puffing sound reminding of a diesel engine
throttled. These guns were among the most favoured weapons among the shooting participants
and audience of the event. Reflex Suppressor R8MG replaces the original flash hider in
seconds.
Lahti-Saloranta LS-26 cal
7.62x53R LMG shown empty case just emerging. As a recoil-operated LMG, LS-26 is quite
pleasant to shoot. During the wars, this well made weapon could even sugstitute a sniping
rifle because of its good accuracy. Sound of a fired LS-26 is peculiar
"whshBOOM". When suppressed, the feeding sound "whsh" can be sensed
easier from under the much softer muzzle report. The Reflex Suppressor used is model
R12LS, which mounts in flash hider threads of the LMG. An interested reader finds the
history of Finnish LS26 from Small Arms Review
2/1998.
