Yea, I don't know why people get all uppity over suppressors. It makes a gun more quiet. Its still easily heard (on most guns), and the rounds its firing are significantly weaker if they are not idiots and using subsonic ammunition.
Its the same paranoia that got hollow point rounds labeled as "cop killer" rounds, when a hollow point is far more easily defeated by even basic body armor than any full metal jacket or even lead ballistic tips. |

| Hollow point bullets aren't known as "cop killer" bullets. Cop Killer bullets were given their name because their core was made of steel and had the ability to penetrate standard bullet proof vests. Bullets that were coated in teflon were also mis-labeled as "cop killer" rounds as well. Nobody ever called hollow points by that name, except apparently you. |

| It doesn't make any sense. A hollow point is much more effective at killing a person with no body armor on, but much less effective if they're even wearing a basic kevlar vest. A simple google search of "cop killer bullets" will show it was a term from the 80s about both steel core bullets, hard brass core bullets, and teflon coated bullets. |

Really? Cause thats exactly the ing point I was making.
Basically any sort of "exotic" ammo in the 80s and 90s was vilified as "cop killer" even if it was totally misrepresenting the capability of the round. Some of it made sense, some of it, hollow points for example, didn't. Why I said paranoia, because it was irrational. |

I should have quoted srussell, I was more addressing his question.
And yeah, most people think you're good to assassinate some world leader if you have a scary suppressor, but they're more for avoiding having to wear earplugs. :mad: |
I consider them to be more flash eliminators than anything else.
The sound reduction I've heard on most have been pathetic. |
