How many people buy the Hollywood silencers as the real thing? Sadly I would think plenty. I think they should show where the sound effect used in movies for suppressors comes from. It might help. Hange some thinking. Wonder if myth busters ever fired a suppressed weapon to show what it would really sound like.
Already most of my shooting is done suppressed. If the Hearing Protection Act of 2017 passes, I will go to more than 90% suppressed shooting. Exceptions will probably be revolvers and a few other old or very small guns, maybe my Remington 870, and my 1911 that I don’t want to mess up the balance on, but mostly I shoot better suppressed and think it is more considerate of others. I’d even like to get short suppressors to take 15 or so db off the Glock and a few other semi-auto pistols if I don’t have to pay for that silly tax stamp.
Note: As impressive as that Barrett .50 cal is, I really don’t like shooting when it’s anywhere but the far end of the range, or preferably at someone’s home.

Give it up. The suppressor law ain’t gonna happen. Remember the Seth Rich murder? Remember how the police found out? Yup, the new high tech audio locate systems installed, I am sure at great expense, in all the major urban areas. Wide spread availability of cheap suppressor would make all that hi tech infrastructure about worthless. And that is why it ain’t gonna happen.
Video doesn’t come up for me.
I found it on youtube, though

Don’t forget that silencers allow .22LR to shoot-down airliners and satellites...
I know this will annoy the black rifle fans, but suppressors on AR15s/M16s funnel lots of noxious, ammonia filled gas into the firer’s face.
You literally gas yourself every trigger pull - follow on shots are hard to with your eyes watering and your choking and coughing.
