Suppressors, Death Squads And Hearing Loss: Larry Correia "Fisks" An Attack On Guns
There are innumerable examples of the stunning ignorance, laziness and blind obeisance to liberal orthodoxy among the media when it comes to guns. Among the worst excesses of stupidity are any mention of full-auto, and today's topic: suppressors.
Here is Larry Correia knocking the snot out of "author Elizabeth Moon, who is an extremely good science fiction writer, but who apparently knows jack shit about guns. Which is kind of sad, since she was a Marine." He is a witty and very caustic writer, which I like very much. And even though he has a bad case of TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome), he is worth a read. An Opinion on Suppressors and the Hearing Protection ActToday’s topic is suppressors, also known as silencers, which are basically car mufflers but for guns. Some folks are having a giant hyperbolic come apart because Congress is thinking about making suppressors easier for people to own. Note, they are already perfectly legal to own, but the process to get one is convoluted and stupid. This law would just get rid of the convoluted and stupid part.There are lots of excerpt-worthy paragraphs, so just read the his post and chuckle. But...he made a mistake. A pretty basic one, so whoever identifies and corrects the mistake gets a Platinum membership with Troll-B-GonTM and ampersand utility.

As was pointed in Correia's post and/or the comments, being a Marine rifleman does not mean you are an expert on guns. And Elizabeth's time in the Corps is approaching or has exceeded 40 years ago.

shoot us and not be heard doing so. Their excuse is that firearms are
noisy and the noise can damage a shooter's (or their hunting dogs')
hearing.
I can't believe Elizabeth Moon made such an offensive statement. We have several of her books here in paperback that my wife bought. I thought they were pretty good. I have even considered getting a few of them on the Kindle since I can no longer read paperbacks.
But that is out of the question now even though I could give a shit about suppressors.

Except for movie dialog, and unexpected conversations with people talking, I don't have a hearing problem. If I know what you are going to say I can understand it, but when you go off into uncharted territory, you have to enunciate clearly.

Posted by: Hairyback Guy at October 08, 2017 12:17 PM (nUkMr)
With the exception of full-auto and explosives, NFA is pretty much dead anyway. Short barrel rifles are now effectively legal (rifle caliber pistols with "arm braces"), various work-arounds for short barrel, pistolgrip shotguns, suppressor parts and kits are available to build them (usually with the end cap being un-drilled to avoid violating NFA).
I'd prefer to do away with NFA in it's entirety, but I can live with an intermediate goal of getting rid of the restrictions on SBR, SBS, and suppressors. Which would cut a huge amount of the workload for NFA regulation, making full-auto permit processing MUCH faster.
Assuming of course that BATFEIEIO didn't just drag their feet because they're a bunch of dicks.

The best ones are the over the ear headphones OR even better the Boze series of sound cancelling headphones which allow conversation but will kill loud noises. But their big problem is they cost $300 apiece.

Slow bullets drop at the same rate as fast bullets. A slow bullet will experience more drop than a fast bullet because it took longer to get to the target, but it will drop vertically at the same rate as the fast bullet.

I really don't understand the commie aversion to suppressors. Don't they understand that shooting kneeling Kulaks in the back of the neck with an un-suppressed pistol in a stone walled basement would be a dangerous work environment?
I mean, that's what they want, and plan for us. Shouldn't they consider it prudent to do so in a safe manner for themselves?

Although I suppose it is possible to convert sound waves into heat, I don't think that's what is at play here.

"Those heated gases which would normally escape into the air and dissipate, gets trapped in the suppressor as heat."

Has a suppressor been used in this covert method in any other crime
we're currently concerned with? It would seem if they were this magical
super-mod that we would have seen them used before now (since, despite
hysteria, they are common and available).

If you are talking about the LV shooting no suppressor was used in that shooting. It became an 'issue' when lying Scankles brought it up and the MFM spread it like wildfire.

Um, that's not true, is it?
Probably depends on your jurisdiction. Putting a barrel that is threaded such that it can accept a suppressor/compensator/flash hider in your semi-auto pistol with a detachable magazine in CA makes it a banned Assault Weapon. I think they can charge that as a felony, not sure.

I wonder how many 'experts' get their firearms info from movies and TV.
You know, where silencers, as they are always called, reduce a powerful
revolver to a whisper. Or when there's a fire fight with 357 magnums in
small rooms and the characters can talk normally right after instead of
saying "What's that? Speak up!"
Posted by: JTB at October 08, 2017 12:54 PM (V+03K)
I always got a big laugh out of them putting a silencer on any pistol. if you shoot my .357 at night you will see fire come out of the sides of the area where the cylinder mates up with the barrel.

Actually a supersonic bullet as it passes you sounds much like a ricochet. The "boom" heard out of a gun barrel is the boom of a detonation that has been compressed until the bullet exits the barrel.

It is a mistake of degree, because the sound will indeed heat the suppressor. Not as much as the hot gas, but sound is energy.

Much more significant in the issue of heating up the suppressor is that the heated gas gets trapped in the baffles, rather than dissipated into the surrounding air.
Posted by: Muldoon at October 08, 2017 01:17 PM (wPiJc)
I'm guessing the sound is caused by the rapid expansion of the gases outside the barrel. So the suppressor absorbs those gases BEFORE the sound is made. The remainder that escapes makes the sound.
I'm impressed with those 22 silencers that are pretty silent. I definitely want one, but need a new 22 with a threaded barrel, plus for the bill to pass.

Silencers work the same way car mufflers work. They reflect the sound waves in a manner that causes them to cancel each other out. IOW if you direct two similar frequency sound waves at each other 180 degrees out of phase they will cancel each other out. The trick is getting them to do that, which is why silencers do not do a LOT of silencing. (contrary to the movies and TV)

I'd suppose the hot air is released very quickly by the suppressor, so most of the (highly compressed air) heat is pushed out over maybe one or two seconds instead of a millisecond. But it will still absorb a little heat.

What I'm saying is that a single, short, explosive sound wave is not a significant contributor to the heating of a suppressor compared to the heat energy of the combusted gases. If it's the sound causing the heat, why would the barrel of a gun heat up when you fire it?
Since the sound is going out the end of the barrel with all of its sonic energy still in the form of sound, the barrel should not heat up.

I wouldn't lose a whole lot of sleep over it. I'm referring specifically to long range match accuracy degrading in a custom rifle after about 800 rounds. I've gotten as much as 1200 rounds but you really don't want them to go tits-up during a match, and when they go, the go really fast. Anyhow, I generally shoot decent quality commercial jacketed rounds in my regular rifles, but wouldn't worry about some occasional bi-metal or steel case rounds. I bought several thousand rounds of rooskie ammo like that a few years back in 7.62x39.
Congrats on the new rifle!!

Posted by: Cloyd Freud, Unemployed at October 08, 2017 01:16 PM (398bZ)
There's probably something to that, because the bi-metal is definitely harder than the normal gilding metal in the more expensive bullets. However, the difference is so small that it's effectively nil. And the cheap barrel replacement thing for ARs takes care of that.
The one area where bi-metal can be more of a problem is with causing sparks downrange. It CAN cause wildfires, and has done so from time to time. Many ranges, especially in the West, will not let you use magnetic bullets because of that.
Bi-metal bullets often means Russian/Ukranian manufacture, which means mild steel cases. There's quite the debate about those in the AR system, where the fairly straight sides of the 5.56 case combined with the steel construction will supposedly contribute to increased chance of head separations. I don't know if it's true, but that's the debate.

There is controversy about this. There are also other factors at work, the precise chambering (esp. 5.56 vs .223, and using one in the other), whether the chamber was reamed correctly to spec, lining (chrome, melonite, etc.). Bullet weight and barrel twist probably also play into it.
My bottom line is, barrels are (relatively, see Novoski) cheap. Don't worry about it. If you get into it, chambering, length, gas-block placement, and most likely twist will determine if you need/want a different barrel.

I had a friend in high school, lived on a farm, and his dad was a gun dealer. We were shooting some of their weapons at a sheet of plywood out in woods behind hte house. I don't recall how far it was, seemed like a long way away. We shot .22 and it would go bang...beat...beat...thwack. Then he pulled out an XP100 pistol in .221 Fireball (an aptly named round - from the side the fireball from the barrel was impressive) and it would go bangthwack.

177 Bi-metal bullets often means Russian/Ukranian manufacture, which means mild steel cases. There's quite the debate about those in the AR system, where the fairly straight sides of the 5.56 case combined with the steel construction will supposedly contribute to increased chance of head separations. I don't know if it's true, but that's the debate.

Anecdotally, I've shot steel-case through my AR with no issues.
Posted by: Insomniac - The Left Hates You and Wants You to Die at October 08, 2017 01:31 PM (NWiLs)
Yeah. That's been the overriding anecdotal consensus that I've seen.
Now, I exclusively shoot brass-cased XM193 (or my own near M193 velocity reloads). But it's not because of concerns over the bi-metal bullets or steel cases. It's simply because I keep XM193 for my apockyclypse stash, and I don't want to adjust my sights for the different point of impact for the lower power Wolf or Tula rounds for practice.

Apostate, I live in Virginia but the B in JTB isn't an initial. Must be a different guy. I don't know how many hand loaders there are in this country but assume it would be several hundreds of thousands, minimum. And that number went up during the last ammo and components shortage. For some of us, reloading is almost as much fun as shooting.

Probably depends on your jurisdiction. Putting a barrel that is threaded such that it can accept a suppressor/compensator/flash hider in your semi-auto pistol with a detachable magazine in CA makes it a banned Assault Weapon. I think they can charge that as a felony, not sure.

If he was of value, he'd be playing. He can only run a zone-read offense and the NFL has solved that offense. He was dead meat before he started protesting. No offenses run that scheme, and any team he joined would have to make major changes just to run a style that doesn't work any more.

Yet if you make a metal adapter, with one side an inside threaded piece threaded to mate with your barrel, and the other side outside threaded to mate with said muffler/oil filter, that chunk of metal now becomes a Class 3 device.

I have the pistol, but it was much too heavy to fire as a pistol.
The brace is designed to Velcro around the forearm of the shooter, specifically designed to allow handicapped users to fire one handed.
According to YouTube dudes, ATF has approved it to be shouldered, essentially making the pistol into an SBR.

I maintain a good supply of commercial ammo for defensive purposes and practice with it. The rest of my shooting is with reloads and black powder.
One of the reasons, among many, I prefer revolvers, bolt action rifles and single shots over non-semi auto guns is because they are more versatile as to handling reloads.

Speaking of deer... I bought some Milorganite recently. It smells like shit, because it's basically dehydrated shit, that once hydrated smells like actual shit. But it makes lawns glow neon green.
Anyway, talk about government intervention, a lot of people discovered that deer don't like the smell of human shit like Milorganite and the deer stay away. Milorganite wanted to advertise this feature, but some government agency told them to spend millions on official research before they could say, 'repels deer' on the label. They chose not to.

"As those expanding gasses from the burning gun powder escape the muzzle, instead of flying outward to bombard those delicate little hairs in your ears, the gasses are trapped in a can screwed onto the end."
The gasses aren't really trapped, as in cannot escape, but rather expand into the can and escape more slowly instead of violently. The slower escape of gasses reduces the noise.

Me too, but didn't happen and the place looks full. My take lately has been - the counterprotest has peaked and won't gain new adherents. If you aren't angry by now, you aren't going to get angry.
Now, if only the players would go on strike. But they won't. It's all just posturing for cameras and their friends.

First, the NFL protests are political grandstanding (NFL/ESPN trying to force their politics down peoples' throats). Second, Pence did the right thing. You should always do the right thing even if you have mixed motives. Lastly, if this attracts support for the administration because of emotions rather than reason, so what? That's what the left does.

Of Course VP Pence had to leave, and I'll explain why in one sentence:
If he did not leave, it'd be construed in the Fake News as a tacit endorsement of the idiotic protest.
In other words, Pence would be saying: Look, if I can ignore/tolerate this harmless protest and then enjoy the game, SO CAN YOU.

On a similar note VP Pence and his wife walked out of the Colts game after 15-20 Fag Francisco players knelt during the anthem. No one on the Colts did. "I left today's Colts game because President Trump and I will not dignify any event that disrespects our soldiers, our Flag, or our National Anthem."

OMG yes. My wife does this all the time. Plays loose with pronouns and imprecise words, including comparatives, to the point where I legitimately have no idea what she meant. Like telling a story about three men, and everything is "he, he, he, he." Which he? There are three, woman. Specify.

I've noticed that in my limited, subjective experience women are less precise with their terms than men, on the whole. Use the word "thing" a lot to describe pretty much whatever they are thinking of.

My 4th-floor balcony overlooks 8 parallel parking spots, four on each side of the street. I can't tell you how much fun I have, watching people attempt to possess one of these extremely roomy spaces.
Sad to say, 30-something men are every bit as incompetent as 20-something chicks. That just amazes me, because I would have thought that testosterone would drive them to become competent, but no.
Sometimes I'm tempted to call down, "Shame on you! Get your dad to teach you how to parallel park."

I recently acquired a VR headset and one of the first games I bought was VR Gun range.
It's a lot of fun, many different types of weapons with three different modes of play.
Available weapons range from Glock's to MP5's to full on assault rifles like the AK-47. Modes of play are simple bulls-eye targets, friend or foe ranges, and zombie attack ranges. Main difference between the friend or foe and zombie are the design of the target cutout and that there are no friendly zombies. Plus the zombie targets are constantly moving towards you.
Anyway...
My question has to do with the affect of suppressors on accuracy. In this game, which sells itself as being realistic, suppressors are sold in the accessories store as an aid to stability. Is this a thing? Are guns more accurate if they have a suppressor screwed on the end of the barrel?

On the off chance that anyone's still reading this thread, they don't really affect velocity or accuracy either way shot-to-shot. Vidya games sometimes neuter suppressed weapons' stats, as a game balancing mechanic. It's possible that the added mass would make it more stable getting back on target for the next shot, I guess, and dampen muzzle rise.

My experience with the game I mentioned is that it is reliably accurate as far as the hand guns are concerned but doesn't really hold up with long guns. In game I generally treat everything as a pistol since trying to hold a virtual rifle as it should be held is an exercise in futility. The AK shoots just fine as a long barrelled pistol, where I'm certain that if I tried that stunt in RL I would get laughed off the range. (or expelled from the range, take your pick.)
One thing I do like about it is that it really drives home the inefficiency of fully automatic fire. Ammo is free and endless but reloads are a thing and running your magazine dry in the face of a zombie attack is a bad thing indeed.

Titanium suppressors will handle full auto rates of fire. They do not vent well as the idea is to capture and disrupt expanding propellant gas so as to lower noise profile or firing point signature. I have destructive tested during R&D for our quick detach suppressors 500 rds in less than 3 minutes and the rifle will fail not the suppressor.

It can be done, but it takes dedication, commitment, and ~450 rounds sustained fire without a break.

Full auto works when clearing rooms. Can't think of any other instance where it offers significant advantages over more selective semiautomatic fire.

Should note that this game is 'early access' which means beta and there are bugs. For one, while weapons with a selector switch, including those that are just fire/safe, have working switches there is nothing to tell you how to activate said switch. I was using a Beretta M9 on one run, doing well, did a mag swap and the gun starting going click-click-click. An arrow pointed to the safety telling me I needed to switch back to fire but didn't tell me HOW. I failed that run because I couldn't shoot anymore. Finally figured it out after much trial and error.
Also, you can buy extended magazines and such in the accessories store. You earn money completing ranges and spend it on unlocking new guns and on accessories for guns you have. I have one pistol in game, another M9, that I've tricked out with flashlight, two, count'em, two, lasers, a suppressor, and a dual snail 100rnd magazine. It's a hilarious looking piece of ordnance which would work about as well as a brick in RL but it worked clearing that last bastard of a level in the zombie ladder that I kept failing because I was getting swamped during reloads.

It can be. Anything can be interesting or uninteresting. It's how it's presented and received.
Lately, the NFL has been presented in a certain way which has noting to do with sports. This presentation has come at the expense of the interesting elements. It's a shame.
For myself, I'm not boycotting the NFL for any moral reason. I'm not following it because it's all about the national anthem and taking the knee, and it all bores me.

Scientifically yes, but in terms of observation, a slow bullet falls to the ground long before a fast bullet does, in terms of distance. Hence: fall faster. He's not wrong, he's just using terms imprecisely.
Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at October 08, 2017 03:45 PM (TZPec)
The rate is unit1 per unit2.
Assuming rate is unit height / unit time is obtusely reading something into his statement when in context it is clearly unit height / unit distance traveled.

I am pretty certain that Correia is aware of the constancy of gravity
regardless of bullet velocity. I would think that he means the slope of
the descent line is faster - drops more per unit distance, not per unit
time.
So that means my identification of reasoning with a liberal as the basic error is correct and first!
I had a friend in high school, lived on a farm, and his dad was a
gun dealer. We were shooting some of their weapons at a sheet of
plywood out in woods behind hte house. I don't recall how far it was,
seemed like a long way away. We shot .22 and it would go
bang...beat...beat...thwack. Then he pulled out an XP100 pistol in .221
Fireball (an aptly named round - from the side the fireball from the
barrel was impressive) and it would go bangthwack
Impressive indeed. If you can get your firearm to go bangthwack, the ladies talk it up between themselves the next day.
