You're correct that silencers increase back-pressure. I don't know much about Saiga 12s, but gas-operated firearms get a boost in pressure in their gas system from almost all suppressors, so the Saiga shouldn't be any different.Tucker 1371 said:I actually think a Saiga may work better with a suppressor. My brother's has issues with anything other than slugs or buckshot, might be a low back pressure issue? If I understand correctly suppressor a increase back pressure. I'm purely speculating here so correct me of I'm wrong, I won't be offended.
If the problem with your brother's Saiga is shooting under-pressure loads, a silencer will increase the gas pressure and possibly fix the problem.
