2016 SHOT Show: Suppressors

There often seems to be a recurring theme running through each years show.
One year it was zombie schit. Damn near every vendor had some zombie item.
(Fortunately, that seems to have died and stayed dead...)
Another year, there seemed to be a glut of powerful LED flashlights.

This years appears to be the year of the Suppressor. I noticed this was starting at last years show, but really exploded this year.
Remington had a huge sign in their large display area., giving a state by state rundown on ownership and hunting regs.

Lower part of sign above.


At the Media /Industry Range Day event on the Monday prior, Silencerco had a good sized booth set up.




They had a special suppressor for shotgun for use. As you sight along the top of the barrel for wing shooting, the upper part of the can cannot extend into the sighting plane.
So it is built offset to hang below.

As the designs get more efficient, they also get smaller. This one is really compact. I did not fire so cannot say if it works well.




I did fire the Keltec RDB and the Beretta ARX-100 though. They both have a .22 rimfire sensation when firing, not like a 5.56x45 usually feels.










Barrett 50 BMG

There is an interesting thread here about a move to drop the US$200 Tax Stamp requirement, based on the hearing safety issue.

That's cruel of you to tease us with stuff we can't have ...

We need hearing safe guns here.

Why would someone post this stuff on a Canadian gun site?

Thanks for posting. You have to laugh at some of the Hollywood silencers you see. Gotta love the famous movie revolvers with a silencer.

Because this sub forum is for stuff at shot show.... Not just Canadian legal stuff

Once the petition to make the AR15 non restricted goes through then we can make suppressors legal
