Yeah I was curious myself and did a little research. Like most Americans my experience with a silencer was from movies where the gunshot turns into a barely audible "floof!". Turns out reality is a little different.
Also, PSA, for sure still use ear protection at the range even with a silencer. 130db can still cause perm hearing damage. |

I've got a buddy that has probably a half dozen of them and he's got one on a 22 bolt action rifle that is so quiet he shoots in the back room in his store into a phone book and you can hardly hear it.
A 22 isn't very loud to begin with, I shoot mine out at the cabin all the time without hearing protection but that AR, man is that thing loud. |

I mean, you should be doing that anyway as 130 db* is still more than enough to cause perm hearing loss. I was just offering a legitimate legal reason someone would want to own a silencer and that even with a silencer it should be crystal clear that a gun has been fired.
*For clarity, the 130db level I'm referring to was based on tests of a 1911 (.45acp). Obviously the bigger or smaller the caliber will impact the actual db level |

An American Terrorist, not ISIS, Not Muslim, Not Aftifa - just a sick MFer with access to illegal firearms.
he is a terrorist, plain and simple. I wish he was taken alive and put on trial so he could face the families of the lives he destroyed. |

It is far too early to say with any certainty what his motivation was. Clearly, one of the things he is, is a "home grown mass shooter/killer" If there are any other associations we have yet to hear them, but it doesn't mean that a thorough investigation won't reveal more.

This silencer thing is one of those Hollywood myths that people get their firearms knowledge from...like the guy getting knocked off of his feet when shot. EDIT: By the way...even ENGLAND allows suppressors. They recognize it as a benefit for health and neighborhood noise reduction. |

Incidentally, .45ACP isn't even supersonic. Try shooting a rifle caliber sometime, where the bullet is going 3 times the speed or more. LOUD.

After Sandy Hook I gave up all hope of you Yanks getting sane on guns. Once you decided it was totally cool for little kids to be slaughtered it was all over. Nothing will change because of this.
Congrats gun nuts. |

For anyone who wants to know just what the difference in sound is with a silencer, NPR had this article from last March where you can play audio of various weapons with and without suppressors.
They had this little bit of information in the article. Quote:

In most states, silencers are legal, but highly regulated (Class III weapon, like automatic weapons made before 1986, still able to be purchased where state laws allow). The bill only takes silencers off the NFA act list. Meaning no more $200 tax to the government after the price of the silencer. That also means that the price of suppressors will go up as more people will buy them with no more NFA act to go through. Quote:
While not legal and very practical, as soon as you attach an oil filter to the adapter here, you have a suppressor. If someone wanted to use one illegally, it wouldn't take much. I also heard that it isn't very precise. https://www.ebay.com/i/262359405580?chn=ps&dispItem=1 Last edited by Coltsfan2theend; 10-02-2017 at 06:38 PM.. |
