It's Fretwell's Fault

The pic shows a relatively short suppressor mounted on a Walther 9mm pistol, not the model I have, but similar in size. That silly **** is movie gangsta stuff. Why do you want to mimic gangstas? Hey, Dopey, suppressors are fairly popular and would be more so if it weren't such a pain in the ass to get one. They make target shooting a lot more...pleasant. ........ I made my own for a .22 rifle. It wasn’t any louder than a spit. Made from drilling a cylinder of hard rubber. Really easy I prefer to stay on the legal side of firearms laws and regulations, although it is easy enough to make a suppressor from an oil filter. I am the not so proud owner of two suppressor stamps, one for a .22LR device and one for 9mm, and I think the latter device also works for .300 BLK. I don't think I'll buy another suppressor, though. Oil filter suppressors are YouTube folklore. I bet it is hard to find a gun barrel threaded in 3/4-16 ;-) I also wonder how well that actually works since there are no real baffles in there. I suspect a 2 liter pop bottle would be as good. I tried the 2 liter bottle thing and even with a .22 it is loud as hell. OTOH a 3/8" MC cable connector with 1/2" IPS thread will friction fit on most .22 barrels. and that works fine with a 1/2" NPT to 1.5" slip PVC bushing. (or reducing coupling if you can find one) There are "conversion" muzzle adapters that make the filters fit properly and apparently there are some filters that are already threaded properly. I've seen lists and some videos on these. I still wonder how effective they are. It is definitely nothing like your commercial ones. I'll stick with the legal, properly "paperworked" and "stamped" suppressors. That is the safe way to go, no doubt but I would like to see that law change. It is the only place the entire legal system where they make it illegal to make something quieter. Usually that works the other way. Imagine a law that made mufflers on cars illegal. The YouTube vids I have seen depicting the oil filter suppressors in use indicate they do work to some degree. My .22LR suppressor quiets firearms down to the point where they sound like an office electric staple gun, and the 9mm suppressor is damned close to that degree of "quiet-tude." Hard to beat a suppressor, though, on a bolt-action .22LR rifle. That's as close to a "movie-sounding" suppressor as I've encountered. A bolt action, single-shot .22LR pistol with a suppressor would be an assassin's dream, I suppose. |
