Remember back in the 1980s when it was found a two liter soda pop bottle worked as a decent silencer for several rounds.

Someone started making an attachment for them and the FEDS promptly taxed it out of existence.

Just measured the ID of two L soda bottle, a hair larger than 13/16". Don't now own a pistol which front sight plus barrel diameter would clear that opening.

Assuming the only reasonable use would be for sub-sonic round,.22 cal. Anybody actually ever seen unable parties try that in the real world?

Magnum P.I. was going to use one to assassinate a visiting Vietnamese official he remembered from the Vietnam War. Don't remember the specifics as to why, I just remember him creeping through the brush with his rifle and the soda bottle on the muzzle.
