Hi-

I saw this over-sized looking muzzle thingy on the end had to be a silencer when I heard it go off 2x shot a a female red stag.

You can hunt in Scotland with a silencer?

Thanks.

The use of sound moderators is actually encouraged in some instances on health and safety grounds. I know the Forestry Commission certainly have their staff that shoot use them.

I never leave home without them

Outstanding.

Here in the People's Republic of New Jersey, no such thing.

Do you need special permits, licensing etc.? Are there requirements?

Thanks.

I've got a Reflex T16 Suppressor on my .50.....No good for deer though

just apply for them the same  a firearm , state the good reason for wanting one and they add it to you FAC if done at renewal time it costs nothing but if done mid term i think it's £28 to have extra stuff added ( variation )



 

I dare not think how big your deer must be if a 50 isn't good enough !

Ok for Helicopters & light armoured vehicles though.

Andy.

Nope numbnuts, that would be an Anti-Materiel weapon and we as civvies are not allowed those. The .50bmg pictured along with any other .50 will only fire ball or tracer. Nothing else

After all seeing as people struggle to get one, we wouldn't want our goobermint getting the wrong idea of them would we Airbrush

Female red stag ?....
You mean a red Hind ?

Lighten up dickhead.

Andy.

Hmmmmm I reckon even one round ball / tracer into the engine of a helicopter would render it fcuked.

And ball would do a bit of damage on light armour too.

bet it wouldnt do as much as you expect

I have two myself and rarely use them, but I'm a target shooter. They are great for hunting, and quite important in many areas due to how built up it can be (not so much in Scotland). Complaints about noise pollution can be an issue without them, etc.

Yeah, although not on shotguns or unregistered, legal limit airguns. I think they cost a lot less in legal fees/tax here (assuming mods are $200, too), but you also have the initial outlay of the firearms license, the secure cabinet to store your firearms in. They go on an additional slot with your firearms, so you'll have paid a fair bit getting all that set-up.

You need good reason to acquire one, and that would mean already owning a suitable firearm (usually).

In theory it should take less time and cost less than the American system to acquire one, but we still have paperwork and potentially a long wait. It depends how quick your firearms licensing department are; those in my area are the best in the U.K, so I could have several moderators (permission to purchase) added to my license within 10 or 15 minutes. Some may wait months for permission to purchase, but that's pretty uncommon these days.

No need

LOL - you guys are  a spirited bunch.

Yes it was a female, so a red hind it would be then.

In NY or NJ you say silencer or MG and in some case .50BMG, the sheeple and Fudds sheit themselves in fear.

As for noise pollution, a silencer is a great solution. The anti-hunters in some areas, "target" shoot up the hunting areas to spook up and harass the deer so hunters see less on opening day. NJ/NY would never allow silencers. When a crime is committed with a silencer, the TV "reporter" crouches down and look over their shoulder before they say the word.

Yes the dreaded .50 Cal, of course, can shoot down Superman.

We just returned from a 9 day tour in UK. Our 2nd in as many years. We love it!

Thanks.

Next time your in the UK, let us know, we will take you shooting, oh and I'm on holiday in Florida, I love it !!!!

Thank you, we'll keep that in mind.

It's not a silencer it's a sound moderator

Yes - sound moderator.

I prefer 'Whisper Tube' or 'Quiet Pipe'.
