Growing up, I loved shooting guns and fireworks and cannons. The bigger and louder the better.
I've never outgrown it. A part of shooting fun is the big badda boom. Would you go to a silent fireworks display? Suppressors have their place for practical work, of course. But shooting for enjoyment, even competitions/matches, sighting in for hunting, etc, a suppressor takes a lot of the fun away, for me. I was shooting machineguns at Knob Creek. RPD......hell yeah RPK.....oh baby Galil AR shorty.....By George I'm sporting a chubby. MP5SD......Well that was under whelming. May as well shoot the kid's airsoft version. I guess I should buy a couple for...reasons, especially since wait times are so short. But, I doubt I'd use them much. As exciting as bacon without the smell. |

I like suppressors because I like my hearing.

I beg to differ
|
|
Find around and fuck out.

Agree to disagree. Replace the thrill of the boom with the sound of the meat slap () the suppressor allows you to hear when you shoot an animal.

If the only reason you're shooting guns off is for the sound that's pretty gay.

It's not about if you win or lose. It's about how many rules they have to add afterwards. |
Sounds like I have nothing to add, you couldn’t hear it anyway.
Suppressed is the way. |

I’m not a big noise guy. When I rode Harleys I kept my exhaust stock. Also hate fireworks. I wish everyone used suppressors so ranges would be quieter.

I've lost as much of my hearing as I can afford to lose.

It's definitely weird. I shoot a lot and definitely enjoy it more suppressed. Plus supressors can catch on fire. I can't even remember a time a nonsupressed firearm caught on fire. If OP's looking for theater suppressors are where it's at. |

Get both, shoot suppressed, but shoot tannerite.

Don't get me wrong, I love a loud weapon and have some legit units for making noise, but I also really enjoy a super quiet weapon. Suppressors in the right context are great. But a suppressor on a 10.3" AR is pointless so just let that noise shine!

There's no reason not to have a can, in a free world. I've shot enough suppressed guns to know how useful they are. Take the muffler off your car and see how loud it is.
I don't own one because I won't pay the fucking cheese tax and 10 years in the Federal Pound my Ass prison doesn't sound good either. |

View Quote I rode straight pipes. Firebird had thrush to be legal. Ironically, I love the quiet. I talk quietly unless I need to be heard over other noise. Make effort to be quiet in public places like campgrounds or beach. No radio etc. |

I will be paying for that for the rest of my life. We got supressors shortly after that, and man do I wish we had them before…. Shooting a lot and being around tens of thousands of round being fired annually, I cannot stand unsupressed rifles anymore. |

I've long maintained that suppressors aren't dumb but that they are one of the most over-rated firearm accessories there is and serve primarily as a status symbol for most owners.
Yes, I own suppressors. |

for me its all about the hitting of the target.
especially reactive targets. |
