| Who would give away two $1200 silencers? I went to knob creek and at the entire show I saw one FA556 212. That may have been a inert display model. I didn't handle it. The show gave me the impression that suppressors are less numerous in America than Machine guns. |

The show gave me the impression that suppressors are less numerous in America than Machine guns. There was an article a member posted here sometime last winter where some drug dealers ended up with stolen US Army suppressors. Here's a link that talks about stolen US weapons ending up in the Pakistan tribal belt. |

I could see one or two silencers being captured under extremely rare circumstances like when a SOF helicopter goes down or when a sniper team is killed or captured but I'm pretty sure that's going to be rare to the point of near insignifigance.
Obviously the $12000 price tag quoted is insanely high in a region where an AK47 is $60, and a rare AK74U Krinkov goes for around $500. In the military these items are serial number controlled sensitive items, loss of which can result in loss of rank, even for a staff sergeant if command wants to pursue it. |
