They are all the rage over here and I hate them. In the UK they use them because they are shooting on smaller private properties a lot of the time, and dont want to upset the neighbours. Over here there is no justification for them, they are just fashionable; something else for gun guys to fiddle with.
They ruin the balance of a rifle and so every fool that gets one makes sure his barrel is cut down to 16 inches, wrecking perfectly good brand new rifles. The used rifle market is going to suck in ten years.
Oh, and deer don't suddenly go stone deaf just because someone screwed a suppressor on.
