After this thread, I'm concerned you may be right.

One question...I forgot the exact terminology from this morning but the AR in his trunk had a suppressor on the end of the barrel.His is welded on to a barrel about 11.5 inches if that seems right.. What's that all about? He says he gets a huge fireball coming out his rifle and it is very loud. So, WTF is the reason to have that on your AR?
