you are EXTREMELY ignorant, dude. The best .22lr cans reduce the sound by 40db's. One time, demoing my silenced Ruger .22lr pistol for a friend, I held the bolt shut with the palm of my non-firing hand and fired it from our bedroom, down into a sandbag in our closet, in my gf's house. She was doing the dishes, around the corner in an alcove. If she'd known, there'd have been HELL to pay, but I knew that she'd never hear it over the noise of the dishes, her scrubbing, etc.

I once saw 4 shots fired, full power 223 ammo,thru a "homemade" 223 silencer and AR15 auto, letting the bolt cycle normally, at a flock of turkeys that were 50 yds away, 4 clean kills with the softpoint ammo, and while the other birds fluttered a bit, ran a few yds, etc, they were still there. :)

anyone who "sees no use' for silencers aint been around much. they are very advantageous for home defense, having no flash at night and not blowing out your ears. they are very handy for disposal of problem animals, and for practice, too. Your animal control truck has one, did you know that? they shoot dogs at night, and they shoot deer on airport runways.

There's no reason to have a NOISY gun, actually. We've just been brainwashed into accepting the noise as 'part of the deal". Realistically, having a noisy gun makes no more sense than not having a muffler on your car.

silencers are cool, but I see no use for them unless I'm a hitman or something

you obviously haven't shot any. :) They are amazingly efficient tools for combat or foraging. animals just sit there if you miss, or if you kill (cleanly) one of their kind, and I mean right beside them! The "can" eliminates all flash, so enemies can't tell where to fire at you. They can't even tell what side of the tree constitutes "cover". :)

A can makes a 223 AR15 and full power ammo just as 'tame' to shoot as the .22lr conversion unit in that same gun (without the silencer). So .22lr practice DOES translate into skill with the canned 223. That saves you 30c per shot, x 5000 rds per year. :) This savings pays for the can and the silencer in one year of practice. It also lets you shoot at indoor ranges that won't allow 223 firing, and backyard practice where you could never fire un-suppressed 223. The can make the 223 sound just like a normal .22lr rifle and it makes subsonic 22 (aquila 60 gr bullets) sound like a BB gun. no bs. it's addictive as hell. With a bit of knowledge, and having $100 worth of work done at your local machineshop, and a day of your own labor, you can have a very fine high powered rifle silencer, saving you about $1000. You still, of course, have to pay the $200 fed tax, and pass the background check and wait 6 months. Also, there are 12 states that won't let civilans own silencers, no matter what the Feds say about you.
