Pictures from my weekend of fun in Albany, Oregon. I took a liking to suppressed weapons this time instead of the usual belt-feds and tommy guns. I did get to play with a genuine Glock 18C (not a modified Glock 17). That was a blast! (pun intended)
All suppressors are made by Gemtech Here is a Taurus PT-92 with a Vortex-9 suppressor: Colt 9mm AR-15 with Raptor: True Colt M4 (full-auto) with M4-96D Suppressor: Rem 700 PSS with TPR-S and Ruger 77/22 with Outback: Me and the PSS next to the Barrett 82A1: |

Yup... but this event was open to the public to rent a lot of these guns (although the ones pictured are owned by me or my friends, and our local Class III dealer) Maybe they have a similar event in your area. As for the ear protection... no it isn't required when firing only suppressed weapons (which we did for a half-hour) but most of the day we had unsuppressed belt feds and full-autos blazing around us. |

So DarkHelmet when are you going to drop some coin in supressors of your own?
Do you actually live in Seattle? I've given serious thought to getting ummmmmm "one", but I do know that our Chief of Police has refused to sign off on them. |

Yeah, I heard you had a lot of fun with the TPR-S...
I also understand that the WSI team "kicked much a**" in the subgun and assault rifle matches. |

I've already dropped "coin" to the tune of $900.00 on a can (counting transfer tax and cost for a threaded barrel). Just waiting for my tax stamp now.
No... but close
Form a corporation. That's what I did because my cheif wouldn't sign either(read: T-O-O-L). Check out Subguns.com and TitleII.com For info on how to form a corp and what some of the pro's and con's are to going the corproate route. |

Yes.... always make sure that you properly install the suppressor on the end of your rifle.... otherwise it becomes a very expensive "rifle grenade" as the pressure fires it down range about 10 yards.
Ah yes.... which is odd because we only get to play with full-auto's twice a year, and otherwise train with semi-auto.... yet somehow we go to Oregon and clean house at the competitions. |

Hey dark helmet, when are events like this held?
I would love to go to something like this, being in the northwest area in all. |

That could be disastrous, from a legal standpoint, seeing how the BATF(and other miscellaneous taxable items) considers any part of a suppressor to be a suppressor - if you blew one up - you could all of a sudden be guilty of possessing 347 unregestered suppressors. Physical injury, mayhem, and death could be the least of your worries. |

Twice a year at the Albany Rifle and Pistol Club in Albany, Oregon. Usually May and December. Bring $200.00 for renting machine guns as the event is $12.00 per day to participate in shooting and the guns run about $10-$20 per mag/belt depending on gun type and capacity. |
