Was wondering if anyone has heard a suppresed firearm fire? I have always been fascinated with silencers forever. Especially the one for the PPK, mp5s and jack bauers sig in 24! I know they are illegal but man i would love to have one:)

Only heard em in the movies. Wondered the same thing.
Wondering if that plastic soda carton works if taped up to the barrel. One time use but Im sure you only need to shoot once.
speaking of which i have tried that plastic soda thing. taped it to the barell of my .22 beretta. it really worked sounded like a car door being slammed. Only problem is good for one shot.Quote:

Something with a small calibre like a .22 or a .32 it will cut the noise down to a large degree, not as quiet as in the movies but fairly quiet. Like the soda ca the lose their effectiveness over time but they do work for a while. For larger caibres like .38, .357 Magnum, .45 etc they dont really cut down that much. The kind of work that requires a silencer is usually suited to the smaller calibres due to the higher rate of accuracy obtainable with smaller calibres. As an example most mafia hits are .22.
Silencers are more popular in movie than real life. They look cool though.
yeah they only cut it down by less than half the decibles.. so not that much of a difference but yet still noticable
A pillow works wonders at close range too.
Get a class III FFL.Quote:

I've shot mp5's with silencers and its sounds just like a typewriter. the bolt going back and forth
the 45 or the 9?Quote:

Very good info to know!Quote:

I also shot the MP5SD, the 9mm version. I agree, all you could hear was the bolt clacking. Pretty bad ass. Fun as hell.
S2B
is there actual company in existance in US that custom makes them or will they be immediately shut down if go public.....
BTW, i am at the gun range at least once a month.....its really expensive here even if u bring your own gun....$75 for 30min. with glasses/earphones/100 ammo or $65 with ur own gun...
See if they will let you buy a year pass ... its usually cheaper if you go often ... most gun ranges offer themQuote:
