Site News Could You Have Stopped This? Vegas Shooting Analysis with Attorneys on Retainer

I am purchasing a .22 silencer (either a Gemtech Outback or a AAC Pilot) in the next few months.  One important use around my folks' cabin is killing carpenter bees that bore into the logs and wooden porch.  We use CCI .22 shotshells for this (it's fun as hell and quite difficult) and I am wondering if these are safe to use in a silencer.  It is #12 shot but I don't know if there is a shot cup or not.  I am worried about stray tiny shot fouling up the baffles.

I don't think that would be a good idea...

Like everyone said Bad Idea and you will be Buying a new one once you do it.

The only way I can see to suppress shot shells is with a LONG barrel...

Use a pellet gun. It is much cheaper and more challenging. I used to plug them out of the air like clay pigeons with an RWS .117 pellet pistol. Do NOT fire any .22 in your can unless money and time are no object to you.

You will destroy your silencer in short order doing this, plus very few pellets will exit so kill no bees will be the result.

Killing them with fire would be just as much fun.

What if I use a wet medium in the can, like maple syrup?  Would it help if I sprayed the shotshells with Teflon?  MMMmmm.   Pancakes.

I have heard of hired guns in the Twin Cities areas using extremely long barreled shotguns for pest controll.

I think the long barrel is the key here...
