About the second day of the murder spree a caller to WABC radio said he thought it was a Chechnyan terrorist. Of course, he was laughed off the air............

The bullets are not silent, they are fibbing. They really fib when they claim they have a 235gr bullet that is silent when fired and has 2-3 times the energy of the conventional round it substitutes for. IOW the whole claim is do do. All they show looks more like a rocket projectile and it's not silent as with other rockets. It must have a higher velocity to get the E and if it does, it's going to sound very similar and definitely not silent.

"They have twice the range of ordinary sniper weapons and a killing accuracy of a mile."

It sounds like someone is reading a manufacturer's warning printed on the side of a box of ammunition. This is a general CYA statement that has nothing to do with killing accuracy, performance, or even the caliber of the ammunition. Most rimfire .22 cal ammunition states a range of 1-1.5 miles, while most center fire rifle ammunition carries a warning of 5 - 6 miles. Neither type will go anywhere near that range unless you have found a perfectly effective rifle, and have hurricane force winds helping the bullet along. But, it does help to remind the shooter to act responsibly. Remember that the performance is determined by a combination of factors which to a large extent includes the efficiency of the rifle you are using. The ammo manufacturers are simply exercising caution.

If this ammunition is silent then it has been toned down to a velocity below the speed of sound, reducing the standard 5-6 mile warning to about a mile. We should also note that underpowered ammunition, like this, can no longer generate enough energy to work the mechanism of an automatic or semi-automatic firearm.

Go to the source article at the top of this thread and read... it describes the suppressed ammunition that you were informed about with regard to your invention. How goes the BATF approval process?

Several witnesses have heard a report, so this is not likely to be the weapon being used.
