#FirearmsFriday for suppressors. I'm mostly a cloner autist & gun collector. Spending all day #Importing, #Exporting & #Dealing in guns means that when I have free time, the last thing I want to do is go shooting. A good 90% of the #Firearms I own are either #Military clones or surplus, #Guns from #Movies, #Police guns, or ironic cringe. Very few of the #Weapons I own are owned for practical use. But most all of the #Rifles I own for practical use, have a suppressor. Being an FFL/SOT as a sole prop #ExpertWitness, I typically have a dedicated can for each one, because I'm lazy & I hate #Money. Many people get suppressors thinking they'll be #Hollywood quite, where you can shoot them during a mediation retreat & nobody will notice. Reality isn't quite like that. Even with suppressors, I generally still wear hearing protection when #Shooting. The exception is when I'm using them around the ranch shooting hogs or whatever. There they allow me to shoot without further damaging my hearing more than the US Army already has. Cans are a cool tool, but if you're expecting Hollywood type quite, they're going to be disappointing.
For me, I'm not really interested in shooting a gun. I train in Krav Maga and like weapon defenses with learning how to take a gun from someone.
Trying to explain to someone that you wont get that level of quiet with a round that travels 3100fps.... that you need subsonic ammo for the greatest noise reduction and they ask you what is that?.. PS- the oil can on the pink rifle warms my cold frigid heart
Hell yeah, whip your cans out!
Does this mean I can't have an oil filter on my truck anymore or the ATF will confiscated it and fine me?
The oil filter is awesome!
Condensation traps work pretty good as well, especially if packed with lubriplate white grease

8moWhy they require a tax stamp completely evades me, other than to note it as yet another example of government overreach and incompetence.
