If a gun fires and nobody reports it, does it make a sound?

Gunshot-detecting microphones are already being used in urban centers.

First time shooters are always impressed when I get out the suppressor.It’s an AWC MK9A,heavy an bulky but very effective.And it’s built to withstand a LOT of full auto fire.

Well, she certainly knows what she’s talking about because she saw it on TV.
Because a gun can be completely silenced by a water pipe. The gun does not vibrate either. It just goes peep just like in the movies.

“”No, they go pew....””

Ah, right. I have to watch more movies. I need to watch more movies. I need to go to the theater more often.

I made a silencer out of a used roll of toilet paper once.

She was actually a decent NYS representative before Schmuck SCHUMER got a hold of her. Amazing how brainwashed politics can turn people.

It’s like a pen click. Or a fart noise. Yeah, I have one that makes a sound like a sneeze so she’s right. It makes funny noises like a coke machine or R2D2.

Wait, that’s my phone...

I think the military came up with this. They had an array of microphones facing different direction placed on top of their vehicle. When a shot went off in hearing distance a computer measured the time it took for the song to reach all the microphones which would pass that data to the software and it would spit out the range and direction the shot originated.

Car Oil Filters do a pretty good job as well. Just need an attachment to downsize he filter thread down to the gun barrel thread.

HOW TO BUILD AN AMAZING OIL FILTER SUPPRESSOR FOR UNDER $30

This one is for an AR but similar devices for almost every occasion exist on YouTube.

“Incorrect. In order to get a really silenced gun, the bullet leaving the barrel of the gun has to be under the speed of sound. Problem: modern larger caliber pistols have bullets that travel above the speed of sound when they first leave the barrel, so a silencer isn’t really effective.”


Really? How about a VERY simple step that ammunition manufacturers can (and do) take to solve that problem: Use a heavier bullet. You can buy subsonic ammunition for .22LR, 9mm, .40 cal., .45 cal., for .300 Blackout, and a whole host of other calibers.

You want a specific example of a modern, large caliber pistol that fires a subsonic round? OK, here it is: most 9mm pistols fire a 115 grain or 124 grain bullet. However, there are PLENTY of 147 grain bullets loaded into 9mm ammunition, and many of those loaded are sub-sonic. Problem solved.

How does “quiet” translate to the “completely silence” of the title?

How do you downsize the diameter of the filter so that it doesn't interfere with the sights?

Every handgun I own has iron sights with the exception of one which has a red dot optical. None of them would be functional with an oil filter on the end of the barrel...........
