SILENCER SATURDAY #44: Suppressors That Are NOT ALLOWED In The US

Good afternoon everyone and thank you for joining us for TFB’s Silencer Saturday, where the NFA repeatedly punishes us for trying to prevent noise pollution.

We looked at some decibel numbers from this Sig silencer a few months ago – those tests persuaded me to invest in my own unit and return the one on loan from Silencer Shop.

What appears to be twin .50 BMG M3 aircraft machine guns were fed from several hundreds rounds of linked ammunition and as the saying goes, “Money was turned into smoke” on the plains of an Arizona desert. Perhaps the only thing cooler than shooting from the ball turret on the ground, is shooting live rounds from it in the air. Legally that would be near-impossible to accomplish anywhere in the United States as a private enterprise.
