Nope, I'm not confusing anything. A .223 flies at about mach 2 to mach 3. There will still be a lot of noise even with the suppressor and hearing protection will be needed if you aren't going to lose your hearing.
I'm trying save everyone's hearing. Go ahead and shoot without hearing protection I don't care. Ask your self why do ammo manufacturers manufacture sub-sonic ammo for suppressor use if there was no need for it.
So show us some documentation of testing in which a suppressed rifle got louder using any kind of ammo, measured from any perspective
I'm afraid if the popo gets cans they will just murder the [bleep] outta everyone. I mean that's what they do with tasers. Provoke an argument just so they can electrocute them. Just think if they could shoot citizens with a silenced rifle.
Thank God however that rifles are actually louder with suppressors on them.
Now that that fear has been put to rest, how about this weather? Phoucing beautiful up in heah.
My feeling though is that the majority of Americans would freak out. Too scary looking and all they know about them came from Hollywood
Members of this board probably know a lot more than the average American. But we're not the majority
My thoughts exactly - from a practical standpoint it makes a lot of sense. Then there is the position of "How often are weapons used in the line of duty" which bring the cost/benefit analysis issue up to add to the media aspect of selling the idea to the public.
I know having just returned from S Africa, the PH's would love it if every client ran a suppressor while hunting over there.
Good question thought - just don't think you will sell the idea anytime soon.

Or the Taser Bolo rounds. 40 electrically charged 000 sized bearing, attached to each other with small wires. That way you can tase a whole city block all at once!!

Have you ever actually heard a 223 shot with a suppressor? I was just out shooting with mine 20 minutes ago. 40 grain bullets at 3800 fps. My dad was inside the house reading a book, 75 yards away, and didn't hear the rounds go off. Granted is it rather windy, and he doesn't have the best hearing. But still.....
To the OP: I believe everybody should have suppressors. It's a public health issue.
I am hard against ANY TYPE OF MILITARIZATION of the PoPo's but I don't care about suppressors either way, as long as they are attached to K-38's & worn by PoPo's wearing nice blue shirts, nice slacks with a stripe up the side & nicely shined low cut, laced shoes.
