I’ve always wondered how you “leave it a little noisey”.
I always wondered why Clemenza was teaching a former Marine, an officer and winner of the Navy Cross, how to shoot.
“I’ve always wondered how you “leave it a little noisey”.”
A doctor buddy let me fire his legal silenced machine gun. It was very quiet in comparison to unsilenced but you could definitely hear the gun. There was the sonic boom of the ammo breaking the sound barrier, mechanical noise as the gun cycled, noise from the blowback gas escaping and a quieter but still noticeable noise from powder charges.
You would not hear any of this from a few hundred yards, but anybody inside that radius would definitely know a machine gun was being fired.
The horses, who normally mosey out to the far pasture, came over to see what we were doing.
They seem to be a little noisier when they are attached to revolvers like in the movies. (eyeroll) I guess the fear is that all those CCW folks out there will sneak up on LEO’s.
file more gap between the cylinder and the barrel. Lose a little velocity make LOTS more noise!
