Usually when shooting my MP5s, I don't semi fire much. It's way too fun to just blast the target.
But last night, I decided to semi auto shoot my MP5A2 using a silencer. At first I thought either my aim was bad or the sights were off. The point of impact (POI) was low by about four inches from the point aim, and far right by about three inches. This was from 20 yards.
I fired 30 shots, all with the same results.
I then took off the silencer, and I started hitting nearly dead center (I sight in at 25 yards)
A classic case of a POI shift.
What is causing such a dramatic shift? Is it possible that there is a slight and nondamaging baffle strike or contact? It's a Liberty Mystic.
Does anyone else experience a drastic POI shift when using a silencer?
