A: This ammo is not subsonic. You are going to have a very hard time finding any production 223 that is subsonic. The 223 round was designed from the ground up to be very fast and most of the weapon platforms developed for the round are designed with the same in mind. If you have an AR-15 platform weapon, one option may be to use a 22LR conversion kit (they don't cost much) and then use 22LR subsonic rounds. I've shot many rounds through such a set-up and it works very well. You can learn more about conversion kits at http://www.luckygunner.com/accessories/conversion-kits or just give us a call if you have any more questions about it.
