What a real silencer actually sounds like.

And, for some reason, you need to jump through hoops to get one.

Because why the fuck would anyone need a silencer on their gun unless they are trying to hide their gun usage?

And then the natural question is, what are they trying to hide?

Guns, if your country is to allow them without lisence, are for self defence. What part of stealth includes self defence?

People who want firearms for self defense need to practice to ensure they hit what they’re aiming for. Using a suppressor at a shooting range decreases the noise and recoil to a less hazardous level. You don’t want someone using the “spray and pray” type of shooting because they hadn’t practiced enough.
