Fuck off

Rude.

Does it trigger you when people call you autistic

Because you're genuinely autistic. You don't get mad when people who aren't as autistic as you don't refer to 9mm as "9x19mm Parabellum" each and every time

>Silent-SR

Was Ruger trolling "suppressor" autists with this name? Good for them.

>>33178900
BUT THEY COULD MEAN 9MM MAKAROV OR BROWNING

>>33178872
OP got told

>>33178853
No, California bans the possession of them and the law refers to them as silencers.

Suppressor means something else in law

>>33178853
Nah, I mean technically it suppresses sound, but like the anon above said it is patented as a silencer. It is interchangeable.

Semantics are the epitome of autism.

No.

Correct.

>You don't get mad when people who aren't as autistic as you don't refer to 9mm as "9x19mm Parabellum" each and every time

Correct.

No but I think it's bad branding because it reinforces the Hollywood notion of silencers as evil assassin tools rather than sporting equipment.

It hurts attempts to legalize them.

Names don't hurt. Movies don't hurt. Ignorance hurts.

>>33179225
Ignorance hurts, names & movies drive the perceptions that drive ignorance.

>>33179357

Lack of desire to educate one's self drives ignorance.

Nope, you can call it a can even if you want. Or a quiter box extender barrel screw on if im allowed to make them legally

>>33178853
No and it doesn't trigger me when someone calls magazines, clips.

>>33178853
No, I'm not autistic so I know that common slang for specialized items is going to be used more than the proper name.

>>33178872
fpbp

>>33178853
No, not when it's on a .22

>>33178853
No. I don't care what other people do, I'm an adult.

>>33178853

Both are correct.

Suppressor is the more descriptive term, silencer is the original name.

Sling or strap?

>>33178853
Most people I talk to IRL about guns don't speak english at that moment, so we'd just call it Schalldämpfer - which literally means "sound dampener".

>>33178853
>Silencerco
>no Suppressorco

shut up faggot

>>33182864
Doesn't matter.

>>33179452
You can argue semantics all you want. The fact remains that tons of stuff gets made illegal due to movies and media. Switchblades, for example.

>>33182864

Straps are for carrying.
Slings are a shooting aid.

>>33178872
Fpbp. Hiram Maxim called it a silencer, a silencer it shall remain. I can understand the rebranding effort, but hell, the name's the name.

Media of all types is the largest facet of information flow. Most people aren't gun enthusiasts like us and will take media pertaining to guns at face value because the media has a monopoly on reporting. This is how wars start, shit gets banned, etc. We can help it by using our miniscule fringe influence to meme our will into life.
