[QUOTE="vdub, post: 960755, member: 6845"] I find it funny some posts in this thread do not seem to understand some of the concepts of a suppressor and what it really does. Just having a suppressor on your rifle does not mean it will be quiet like the movies, folks!!! Suppressor just divert and re-route gases to reduce the pressure and noise from a shot. I would bet most people, who will hunt with a suppressor, will go buy some commerically available ammo or reload full power ammo and shoot that. Guess what? That bullet will still give off a report from breaking the sonic barrier. So save the "I want to hear a report so I know where the shots are coming from" comments cause you will still hear the shot. If someone really wants to get the most out of a suppressor, they will need to reload subsonic ammunition or find someone who is selling subsonic ammo (not alot of it available on the retail markets). This will severely limit the range, energy, and stopping power of the bullet. On top of that if the person does not test their loads without the suppressor first, they run the chance of the bullet not being stabilized at the load they are using and destroying their suppressor. Once they do that, they would have wasted all that time and money on getting one. If they were to get that one repaired or another one, I bet they would go back to commercially available ammo, which means you will hear their shots still. Still do not understand gun owners wanting to own certain guns or gun accessories but taking restrictions on exactly how they can be used. If you do not want to use them or do not see the logic behind them, it does not mean numerous other people do not. You are just helping the liberals pit us against each other to slowly strip more gun rights away. We compromised once, and they took some rights. We compromised again, and they took some more. Eventually, we won't have to compromise anything because we won't have any rights. Our founding fathers did not put restrictions on what can be done with a gun besides killing people and even that was not very strict back then. You feel you might endanger your life by hunting on public land, don't go. I recommend you also not driving a car because you could have a wreck and get injured!! [/QUOTE]
