I was just asking a dumb question.

If silencers make gun noise diminish for every shot, why don’t shooting ranges have them? Are they legal anywhere? I do not know if silencers harm the weapon over time, or have a limited use value (like only good for a certain number of fires), how much they cost, etc.

I honestly don’t know these things. Sorry.

No no no! Not a dumb question!

Like anything having to do with guns, there are many variables.

You can get suppressors in many configurations. Some last longer up to indefinite, and some are more effective.

What makes them a pain is they are regulated out the wazoo, and breaking one of those regulations can send you up the river for thirty years!
