If the lefties actually understood what suppressors do and do not do, I think they would actually push to make them required on all guns. They think that suppressors are "silencers" that turn everyone who uses them into some kind of super assassin, but in reality guns with suppressors are still as loud as a jet engine and are more difficult to conceal and transport due to having a giant tube protruding from the end.

They should be legal. The volume of the gun shot is highly dependent on the barrel length and what type of ammo you're using. You don't just put it on any gun and make it silent.
You need to have ammo that does not have a muzzle velocity faster than the speed of sound with whatever barrel you're using.
Longer barrels tend to add more muzzle velocity.

Pros: Cans become cheaper. Single caliber pistol and .22lr cans will be extremely cheap as they can be made with utterly cheap materials.
No waiting 6 months plus for a can, although with HPA they still may implement a waiting period of a few days
Integrally suppressed weapons become a thing. Enter integrally suppressed 16" bullpups and pistols

Cons: Current suppressor manufacturers are strongly geared towards high end suppressors and their designs integrate high end materials because lol NFA. If suddenly everyone and their mother can make a Maglite suppressor for .45 and below...
It also hurts R&D of multi cal suppressors - they'll still be a thing for rifles, because rifle cans can never be as cheap as pistol cans.
SilencerCo, AAC, and a whole bunch of others could effectively go out of business, not because they don't adapt and make a cheap silencer, but because there will be a $15 dollar do it yourself kit that requires a maglite.
I imagine the medium to high quality suppressor manufacturers that make up the market will have to become FIREARMS manufacturers primarily, making integrally suppressed weapons.

As for the large gun manufacturers, they'll be slow as fuck to adapt to HPA. I expect FN and HK to offer suppressors with some of their guns, as well as ruger to have an integrally suppressed .22.
S&W will probably attempt an integrally suppressed revolver, they'll eventually come up with a gas sealed one around the size of a snubbie that will sell like mad.
Magnum caliber suppression will become a thing

If you've ever actual been around a suppressed rifle being shot, let alone shot one yourself, you'd realize how retarded you are. Most suppressors will hardly make a rifle hearing safe.
>>
>>111208830
There's literally no downside.

Hence them thinking it's plausible to shoot the gun out of someone's hand and the like.

Having suppressors readily available to any adult would make it considerably easier for that person to carry out an assassination styled killing with a registered firearm and flee the country before the case authority have linked the bullet fired to said weapon.

When you're going from 150-160 to 130-140, it's significant enough to do less damage to your ears but it's not enough to change shot detection unless you're in the middle of a fucking firefight.

Op here
I tried to stay out of the thread to not force my opinion on people, because free thought is a lot more interesting.
However, you are such a retard that I wanted to take some time to educate you on the topic. You have clearly never shot a firearm before, nor have you ever recorded anything loud with a microphone.
A mic can only pick up audio so loud. If you talk loudly into a mic, and then scream into it in two seperate audio files, you will notice that they are both equally loud, but the one where you screamed into the mic might have more compression and distortion in the audio. Any professional with good sound equipment would have hardware that would prevent the audio from being compressed or too loud, meaning that an audio clip of talking loudly and intense screaming would both be of similar volume. Not to mention that your speakers play a big difference as well.

tl;dr microphones and speakers can't simulate the differences in volume between very loud audio sources, which means they can not be used to reliably show the effectiveness of a silencer

I recommend that you either listen to the people around you who actually know about firearms and have experience shooting them, and if you are not satisfied, go to a shooting range with multiple different calibers of weapons, and fire them with and without a silencer, and figure it out yourself.

>>111209287
I'm a right wing gun owner, but I think making them legal and therefore more common, is a huge mistake. Right now suppressors are difficult to get simply because they have never been legal. Once they are legal, even if only for a short time, they will get into niggers hands and crime will increase. They only real deterrent for niggers not to shoot people all the time is the loud noise that will alert authorities. And on the home protection side....why would you want to silence your shots? The loudness disorientation and scares the intruder so that even if you miss or fire a warning shot they may bolt. Give me on possible pro for a supressor, I can't think of any...not talking about hunters.

Fuck off you fudd piece of shit. Gangbangers use the cheapest and smallest pistols they can get their hands on when actually committing crimes. It's about conceal ability and suppressors are NOT easily concealable let alone are the cheap throw away pistols even capable of accepting suppressors.
>And on the home protection side....why would you want to silence your shots? The loudness disorientation and scares the intruder so that even if you miss or fire a warning shot they may bolt.

>>111208830
Why the fuck does anybody need a suppressor? I mean fucking really what are you going to use it for, in case of something like "hurr I gotta shoot Tyrone cause hes trespassing illegally but I dont want to wake up my neighbors"? By all means shoot the motherfucker dead but suppressors have almost no use in a civilian market, you're a neckbeard with a gun not a member of SOCOM

If someone can provide me with a plausible scenario where an assassination could be carried out using subsonic ammunition from a suppressed firearm where the assassin would be far away enough for the ammo to not only be lethal, but able to actually hit its target, and the assassin be able to escape the scene of the crime, then I suck my own dick

He's right though. On many rifles you still need to wear hearing protection even with a suppressor
>>
>>111216381
you are retarded

it doesnt make the gun into the pew pew pew hollywood sound effect
>>
>>111208830
They would make ear plugs at the gun range obsolete. The reason certain police departments might not like them is because certain cities have gun shot detectors that might not be set off by a suppressed firearm. The only criminals with the money and gray matter to invest in suppressors though would be mafiosos and hit men where as jamal will be content with his keltec.
>>
>>111216522

>>
>>111216381
Shooting a gun in a closed hallway without ear protection is the equivalent of flash banging yourself. It completely fucks your situational awareness. A suppressor will seriously dampen this effect
>>
>>111216381
I'm going to wake you up in the middle of the night and force you to shoot an unsuppressed rifle with no ears on and then you can say that you Ignorant fuckstick.

But you won't be able to tell if you are because you're going to be completely deaf for the next few hours.

Pros :

-reduce noise induced hearing damage
-reduce disturbance for neighbors and wildlife

Cons :

-none

The argument that leftards use "hurr criminals are going to use them for murders" doesn't stand. Suppressors were completely unregulated in France up until 2012 and criminals/terrorists have never used them. Fact is, those people see guns as a tool to get the job done, in a completely utilitarian sense, they don't give a fuck about tacticool stuff, they aren't gun enthusiasts, and they couldn't care less about their hearing or the disturbance of people around them.
Actually it is extremely surprising that suppressors aren't mandatory, it is obvious that the left has no idea about what it actually does, and makes laws on the knowledge they got from movies. In nordic countries, suppressors are clearly encouraged for hunting, whereas in France this is completely illegal because of "hurr them evil poachers would be killing animals without anyone noticing". Yeah, sounds totally legit.

Literally all they do is reduce the noise just enough so your ears aren't ringing with every shot. Still WAY louder than a jack hammer and most tools and machines, the only difference is since it's not a sustained noice 135-140 db (which is what a suppressor will bring a rifle down to, rough) doesn't completely make you deaf.

No it doesn't, not until you reach extreme distances anyway. The characteristics are much different.

No but you do have reduced pressures, plus of course the use of subsonic ammunition. With reduced velocity you lose energy and range but accuracy is more to do with barrel harmonics, rifling, and of course the condition of the crown.

Supersonic ammunition is the only way to make long ranged shots viable. However, supersonic ammunition makes a very loud sonic boom when shot.
Subsonic ammo might work well enough for a pistol, but good luck making a long ranged shot with a subsonic suppressed pistol

Yes, but standard .22 is quite loud especially from pistols. Silenced .22's with subsonic ammo really are the quiet wonders like silenced guns are depicted as in movies, I've fired them.

High quality hearing protection will knock down about 20-25dB, assuming it is worn properly. Most people don't insert the yellow foamies properly, yielding less than 20dB noise reduction.

A typical suppressor will reduce noise by 30-35dB. The difference from 20 to 30 dB is not 50%, it's a ten-fold reduction.

The risk of hearing damage and tinnitus increases with greater noise exposure. This fact is why industry and the military adopted hearing conservation programs. Suppressors will provide additional hearing conservation at the shooting range or when hunting.

Timely thread

After months of research and second guessing I threw down on 2 supressors yesterday. Now I play the waiting game.

Just to add to the chorus, I don't really see any downsides to deregulation.

The idea that it will be a crime problem is obsurd. Like the kinds of people responsable for our murder rate are sitting around thinking " that nigga Tyrone disrespected me, I would sure love to murder him but I am worried the gun is too loud"

Hollywood style assassination is mostly a myth anyway, and in the event it does happen supressors are easy enough to make that some secret shadow assassin can get one regardless of legal status.

Lastly, the noise of the gun goes unnoticed alot of the time anyway. Many criminal cases or suicides occur without immediate reporting becuase people either don't hear the shot, or think it's something else. Even though gunshots are extremely loud the noise can be dampened by walls, houses, ect. Their have been plenty of documented cases of people sleeping through a gunshot in their house.
>>
>>111218848
>A typical suppressor will reduce noise by 30-35dB
Only with subsonics and certain calibers

>>111218758
Supersonic bullets don't make boom, they make ptschh, like a whip.

>I know jack shit about guns

No.
At most it can change point of impact of your zero.

Issues in regards to this would be due to subsonic ammo and those issues would happen regardless of a suppressor or not.

>>
>>111218054
No. Not as a rule. Generally the recoil reduction makes for better accuracy and quicker follow ups from what I understand. Some designs when combined with some rifles can have funny blast patterns that buffet the bullet as it travels through the suppressor. Luck of the draw really. Some companies claim their designs mitigate the possibility
>>
>>111219033
Have you ever fired a fucking rifle before.
My AR sounds nothing like a whip crack.
>>
>>111218054

If you fire a bullet that travels faster than the speed of sound through a suppressor it still creates a loud bang due to the sonic boom it creates, which is why if you want the quietest shot you need to use cold loaded, subsonic ammunition that travels much slower, at least slower than the speed of sound.

The lower accuracy could be a video game representation of a slower bullet that suffers from more drop and wind movement
>>
>>111217303

Depends on your intended application.

Suppressed gunfire is harder to locate, because the sonic crack is now the louder sound and that's coming from the bullet itself and echos off of everywhere.

Also suppressors are excellent flash hiders, but that can be accomplished by...Well, a flash hider.
>>
>>111218700
not likely unless the weapon was designed specifically to cycle subsonic rounds which 95% of firearms are not.
>>
>>111218807
>Silenced .22's with subsonic ammo really are the quiet wonders like silenced guns are depicted as in movies, I've fired them.
Yes and?
If criminals we're about that they'd be all buying oil filters and threading them on their 22s.
They don't because a criminal doesn't typically use a gun to shoot it(outside of gang warfare) they use guns as an intimidation tool and for that job criminals have always picked the cheapest and most concealable weapons available.
This applies even to things beyond firearms such as small daggers and knives being used over larger blades.

And remember this bill only takes suppressors off the NFA but they will still legally be defined under the same laws regarding firearms as in to buy one from a shop you need to fill out a 4473 so your argument for "muh niggers gon get these legal suppressors" is no different than everyother antigun argument complaining about criminals getting guns.

The issues with inner city crime are completely detached from the tools they used and as such going after their tools or perceived future tools is a waste of time.

There are currently tens of thousands of cans in private ownership in America alone. They have had no increase or decrease in crime what-so-ever and i doubt if they're easier to obtain that will change.
Most are for .22lr or the AR-15 which is almost never used to commit crimes.
Having had the chance to shoot a couple that were on a 22 pistol i wasn't impressed by the fact they add a noticeable amount of weight to the end of the barrel, but for those who want one i guess they can take the time to adjust to it.
I still prefer electronic baffles since they block any gunfire sounds while not obstructing any sounds below a certain threshold. So they work on any type of gun under almost any conceivable condition.
>>
>>111208830
If OSHA was branch of the AFT suppressors mandatory safety equipment and would be a higher priority than trigger locks.

The key is using subsonic ammo to get most benefit. You need to understand how this affects cycling as well.

Forget 5.56...Best decent rifle cartridge for low db is the 300 blackout, but using subsonic rounds without a suppressor may reduce back pressure and have cycling issues.

In Florida hunting with suppressors is now legal and some local gun shops sell them and help walk you through all legal paperwork.

But in response to booth of you unless you were using subsonic ammo which would be absolutely useless to a sniper you would still hear the bullet breaking the sound barrier.

How about you don't have the fucking right to tell me I can't shoot without blowing my ears out. I don't remember anything in the Constitution saying I have the right to keep and bear arms but only super loud ones.

Also suppressors don't make the damn thing silent. The sound of a suppressed gunshot is still distinct and can be heard from a distance, it just decreases about 20 decibels (sounds like when you shoot with cheap ear muffs). Even with subsonic ammo it's not that quiet. The meme of Navy seals using them in super undetected operations is Hollywood bullshit. They use them so they don't blow out their own hearing during operations, any enemy within 500 yards is going to know it's gunshots. If you don't believe me let's go shoot, I was disappointed when my suppressor I paid $800 for didn't make me all silent assassin like agent 47. It barely makes a difference but the main thing is not making your ears bleed. They should be cheaper so we need to legalize.

Benefits would outweigh the negatives. People aren't murdered with silenced weapons, they are stabbed, clubbed, choked in fits of rage. In over 90% of the cases, homicide victims know their murderer. DNA analysis does the rest. And there's a nation wide firearms register.

>I was under the impression supressors were legal in the US

Yes, but are subject to really ridiculous regulation. They must be registered and they are subject to an obscene 200 dollar tax. The registration process takes forever (like a fucking year) and then the possession rules are really twisted. Theoretically, if I had a supressor in a safe and my spouse , who is not the registered owner, knows the combination she could be prosecuted for possession of a NFA item. A case like this actually happened, but was ultimately dismissed. Further, if I go to the range with a pal and he sits in the car while I run into a gas station to buy some tendies he could be in possession of the supressor, a federal offense. Their are ways around this . For example, I am preparing a trust that will own the supressors, and my wife, and a few trusted friends are trustees so they can legally be in possession of the silencers. Just for situations like I described. That requires even more red tape, they all have to be photoed, finger printed, ect

Fucking unreasonable amount of red tape. Thier is currently a movement to remove supressors from the list of near prohibited items and make ownership/ purchase a simple matter.

I suppose the way they are built they can't really be cleaned and they sort of clog up over time?

What about building your own then? Would that be subject to regulations and the tax stamp?

You probably won't be able to build the screw in kind because who has his own lathe at home, but for fixed barrels you could construct a clamp on type.

They are legal. You just need to fill out some paperwork.

Opposition to suppressors is based on Hollywood Myths that they make a gun literally silent as if they counteract the effects of a bullet creating a sonic boom. Meanwhile, subsonic ammo is legal and much much better for killing somebody sneakily, so there isn't any real consistency with the law.

The people that live near people that actually shoot guns would only benefit from suppressor use due to reduced noise pollution. Nobody would die as a result, and in fact, it's questionable if a suppressed weapon would even be better to use to kill somebody. Homemade suppressors, while not as effective, are also not terribly hard to make anyways.

There aren't really any cons to them. The only time they were every used in crimes was by the mob with suppressed .22s for assassinations and the like. The fucking mob will get them either way. Its literally just le assault weapon meme where leftists know nothing about the subject and they ban something because muh scary.

Most modern ones can be cleaned, the problem is what part is the serialized suppressor. Baffles wear out and need to be replaced.

The$200 fee effectively puts a money tax one who was able to own one based on their amount of disposable income. It's not exactly the same however this argument was used in order to allow low-cost handguns aka the Saturday night specials to be produced in the United States


> Roy Innis, president of the activist group Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) and a member of the National Rifle Association's governing board,said "To make inexpensive guns impossible to get is to say that you're putting a money test on getting a gun. It's racism in its worst form." (CORE filed as an amicus curiae in a 1985 suit challenging Maryland's Saturday night special/low-caliber handgun ban.

> The Wright and Rossi evaluation of the National Institute of Justice study (p. 238) concluded: "The people most likely to be deterred from acquiring a handgun by exceptionally high prices or by the nonavailability of certain kinds of handguns are not felons intent on arming themselves for criminal purposes (who can, if all else fails, steal the handgun they want), but rather poor people who have decided they need a gun to protect themselves against the felons but who find that the cheapest gun in the market costs more than they can afford to pay."[10]

> CORE filed a brief in the 2001 United States v. Emerson case stating that the term "saturday night special" refers to "nigger-town saturday night".[2]

No shit. We had a terrorist trio that assassinated foreigners via a small calibre gun with silencer they got from Switzerland, and it was reportedly still as loud as baloons being popped, i.e. it attracted attention to them.

Add to that the fact that all guns are registered, that it was no problem at all for police to track the original buyer, and you get to a point where you realize that if you really wanted to kill somebody, you don't use a gun at all.

Buy a slim flathead screwdriver anywhere and stab the victim with it. It's silent, it can't be traced, and if caught you can still say it's manslaughter, not murder.

earthquakes can be amazingly loud. we woke up one night to what we thought was incredibly loud thunder from a storm. jumped up to check, but before i could look at radar, the "thunder" just kept rolling on and on, for about 25 seconds.

turns out it was an earthquake in alabama about 200 miles away.

You can clean them, but the blast baffle will erode over time no matter what. If you bought your suppressor (as opposed to making it yourself), you must return it to the manufacturer if you want any of the baffles replaced.

If you built it yourself (which is subject to similar regulations), it's a tricky area as far as I understand. The ATF considers single baffles to be suppressors in their own right, so making a new baffle is legally making a new suppressor. But at the same time, manufacturers are allowed to replace baffles. The ATF itself doesn't have any clear answer, but generally people just replace them anyway because how the fuck is the ATF going to know?

And what do you think it supresses? Not your stupidity obviosuly.

Our commie terrorists of the 1970s got their weapons from the East German secret service, but couldn't get any silencers or suppressors for them. I read somewhere that they got tennis ball cans complete with tennis balls, taped it to the barrel and just shot through them, using the rubber balls as baffles.

You'd get funny looks at a gun range doing that, but it's cheap and it sort of does its job.

Wild times.

No, I bought 2 yesterday. Just for gunfagging. Kind of like what makes a person buy expensive watches or vintage cars, or a million other niche/collector things. For me it's an expensive toy. Mostly it's about a gun project of mine that's something of a tribute to 80s and 90s SMG culture. A total vanity project. I'm personally not that concerned with the hearing protection side of things, although it is a legitimate concern.

Others have more practical concerns. For Hunting, especially pest control or urban game management supressors have obvious advantages. They also have some target shooting uses (beyond sound suppression). Their are also legitimate training /gun exposure arguments to be made as well. For me, and I suspect most people it's just fun and gearfagging.

As far as tactical uses, their are a few but it's pretty limited. I had occasion to become familiar with my cities SWAT team during some training exercises I took part in. They have machine guns, smgs, sniper rifles, armord vehicals, and all kinds of advanced technology but they don't bother with supressors. Supressors use is pretty limited in the military too, save for snipers and sf types.

As you said your self (I think) the vast majority of murders are impulsive irrational acts. And while Hollywood likes to portray cloak and dagger assassins with whisper quiet guns, the reality of hired murder and international intrigue, a few notable examples aside, is much less exciting. In short, just don't see a threat to public safety.

But yes, I would agree with the statement that if some bad ass, we'll funded assassin (if that's real) wanted one the law would be irrelevant

I think that's the only legal purpose for them here in the land of a million regulations. Shooting rabbits in inner cities.

There's a reason why they are banned and why they should stay banned.

For those of you silly enough to try it out, it was a bit more complicated. They cut the Tennis balls in half and glued them back into the can tube with the round side facing outwars, using the kind of insulation foam you use around windows. They also drilled holes into the halves so that the projectiles would pass through more easily.

Eventually, all of them got caught and those that didn't commit suicide in prison talked, so we know a lot about how they did things.

>make your own
People do this. The registration process and legalities are the same. Register, pay the ridiculous tax, wait 6mo to a year, then when you are approved you can build it. Subsequent possession and transfer is subject to all the same rules.

You can make a really simple supressor for cheap. Just a tube and some baffles. He'll, you can buy all the parts on amazon. Most people don't bother with a crude legal build though, since the registration process is so expensive and time consuming. Generally one does not skimp on the supressor when you have to jump through so many hoops. This makes them much more expensive than they need to be. Another reason to deregulate.

>>111232369

>seems to me you've replaced your baffles.
>uh.. not really
>on the contrary, you say you go to the range quite often, through a year i'd say you replaced about 50 baffles.
>aw c'mon man you're not gonna
>did you register your 50 baffles, SIR?

fucking kek

>supresors are must have because guns are loud

>what is ear protection

I have nothing against guns and gun culture but supressors for civilian use is literally useless and yeah 1% of tiny neckbeard minority who can't even 1/2/3/4 for reps but think they are alphas cuz they bought all new flashy guns will benefit for.

Other 99% will be gangs of niggers, spics shooting each other and there will be not enough loud to alert the authorities.

>inb4 he thinks silencer works like in videogame

Go fuck yourself, muh shooting indoors, who the fuck shoots indoors? You wake up from a bed and fire a few rounds from your window?

Only place you shoot indoors is gun range or if you are part of some autistic wanna be squat gun club who googles swat breaching tactics and mimics that irl.
