Howdy,
So, I shoot .308 which is pretty loud.
I'm sure that there are plenty of calibres that are louder, but having forgotten to slide my earmuffs down a few times after ceasefires the .308 is more than loud enough IMO...
Obviously the movie thing where you screw a suppressor onto some cannon and it becomes whisper quiet is rubbish. Watching a few videos of guys in the US with them on large cal stuff it looks like it takes the noise down to a pretty reasonable level for your ears, while still being plenty audible for the sake of over people hearing it and knowing it's a gun shot.
Suppressors are illegal illegal in Aus as we know, but are there any moves in progress to legalise them?
I'm sure they could put some sensible limit in place, like it has to be over X db or something if they felt the need, and it would still be doing everyone's ears a favour.
Anything?
