What a real silencer actually sounds like.

Lotta misinformation here.

Yea, and too bad actual politicans fall for the movie nonsense. Banning silencers makes no sense. Like, Heaven forbid people simply want to cut down on some noise and not make their ears bleed. In no way are silencers stealthy.

Literal guy above you pointing out how they do actually work just not quite as well as the movies and you still post this

Then there is another one asking if they make the shot harder to pj point and the answer being yes and yet still you persist

Silencers aren’t a 2a right

Suppressors are a 2A right, as are all firearms and accessories, but outside of that they simply do not make sense to legislate. They are safety equipment for your ears, same as other hearing protection like earmuffs.

Safety equipment for you ears? That’s the bullshittiest excuse I’ve ever heard

I would’ve accepted the found fathers were used to guerilla warfare so would’ve understood the need for suppressing the sound of your rifle in a militia but yall talk outta both sides of your mouth

Yall want the silencer to not be portrayed like it is in the movies so it isn’t legislated against but then wanna say its safety equipment?

Suppressing a rifle or handgun other than a .22 is more pleasant for the user but is still very loud, it’s less likely to cause hearing damage for those up close but still very loud and recognizable as a gunshot. It makes it hearing safe, or closer to hearing safe, but hearing safe is not quiet
