The logic is quite simple behind that really... its to stop people from becoming hitmen agent 47 style...
Not allowed.
When i moved from the UK, rcmp told me to remove the suppressor from my rapid7 air rifle, and when it arrived they inspected the container and checked the rifle.
I guess even on air rifles it makes you turn in to a assassin.

I hope my sarcasm detector needs new batteries.
They are actually quite dangerous.....

Now I really hope it needs new batteries!
Being Canadian, I have never had the opportunity to experience the benefits of a suppressor, but I imagine the Kiwi's enjoy being able to hunt without
hearing damage, am I right? Do suppressors prevent iron sights use, or can they be shaped to allow a sight line?

I have never shot suppressed either, but I know that suppressed is not silent, and I also know that not all firearms and ammo combination become hearing safe with suppressor use.
Some suppressors will effect irons, largely depends on the firearm.
I have shot supressed 5.56/308/338/.50 and 9mm
For hunting with no ear pros, its perfect but I wouldnt shoot all day or an entire session without ear protection with those calibers.
We are probably the only civilised country with high gun ownership banning the use of supressors...

Same guy that thinks a bag of peanuts should read " may contain traces of peanuts"
Yes, for that one or two shots while hunting, a supressor should be a great thing (Does no one else get severe ringing from that one shot?)
The noise reduction must be mild, it is just that it is projected forward of the rifle, so I can't understand why the banning?
If they had told me it would cost $800 for inspecting the container i would have sold it in the UK. The other thing that pissed me off was the air tanks cant be filled legally in Canada. Now I have 2 air tanks that cost almost £500 and can't be used.
Suppressors aren't like what you see in Hollywood..... If not used properly they have a really bad habit of making rifles go kaboom..... Proper use of a suppressor requires research at the very least, and training would be best.....
Suppressors can't remove the sonic crack of a bullet breaking the sound barrier, but it's quite amazing at the noise reduction they are capable of. Not all suppressors are equal either. A suppressor with subsonic ammo leaves you with the click of the firing pin, and the sounds of the bullet hitting the target.
They shouldn't be illegal in canuckistan but the powers that be make as much sense as a phonless cord.
I for one think they not only should be legal, But endorsed in many cases. Forget muzzle breaks, go suppressed!!!

It requires research and common sense as does 99% of this sport/hobby/lifestyle.
