i dont like when threads go like this.
In Northern Ireland, and wales, and elsewhere you can simply buy a real suppressor (that works very well, all you hear on a .22 or .17HMR is the click basically.) without even having to prove you have a suppressor permit. There are videos all over youtube.
If people just make fun of the guy for making a fake can for looks.... nobodys ever gonna be able to talk about the real issues around why its "cool" to even have a fake one.
Can someone explain to me why i have to chase away every deer, elk, and moose within a few KM of my position, just because its late afternoon and I need to snipe some wild chickens or something for camping/hunting trip supper with my .22 when i could protect my hearing and the peaceful landscape with a suppressor?
