There is a German company that is making some VERY cool replicas of military weapons (GSG maybe?) STG44's, UZI's, Thompsons and MP5's. All in 22lr. The MP5sd version has a fake can on it so it looks just like the real deal. Dont call a man foolish just because his tastes are not the same as yours. He has worked to earn his money and can spend it on whatever he likes. Free country and all |

It's the claims about what fake supressors do, which in reality is nothing at all other than LOOK cool Replicas are all about "appearance" That's not applicable to most manufacturers I don't care how he spends any money he earns, but don't try to tell me it's because of any "benefits" gained other than visual impressions

the way i see it, modern guns from well-known manufacturers s&w, sig, walther, glock, springfield, h&k...shoot roughly equally well for my purposes(target shooting, home defense...) so my main deciding factor is looks. other things that are important to me are how iconic the gun is and price, in that order. i can't be the only one purchasing a gun based on the eye candy factor. let's face it, the cooler a gun looks, the better it sells(other factors being roughly equal). at the end of the day, when i take my gun out of the case to go shooting, i have to like what i see.

I think I'd rather have a real suppressor attached to a fake gun...

You seem to be more concerned with how YOU look with your "cool" gun

Ninja- how is it not legal for individuals to own an mp5? Minus the non free states, out of budget for a lot of people sure but not illegal.
I know a guy in Florida who is a collector and owns 3 of them. There's lots of people in the US who own full autos and select fires. |

It's almost as much fun as the REAL suppressor on the 10/22 They most unusual I've fired so far was the MP5-k in a briefcase

Snyper- the briefcase sounds like an awesome time. I haven't shot anything super cool yet. Granted full auto in anything to some people is once in a lifetime cool. A friend of mine is a class 3 dealer and has some cool stuff. I'm not a huge fan of the Kriss vectors but my buddy has a full auto one and that is an awesome gun.
I have another great friend who is a WWII collector and has some great machine guns. Other than that I don't get to play full auto very often. For me I'll just stick to my REAL suppressors and SBR's. One day ill own something with the rock and roll switch but until then Ill just enjoy the sounds of silence. |

Can a fake can, pinned, be enough to get your barrel to legal length? Like pinning a 1.5" flash hider on a 14.5" barrel?
In other words, can I pin a 6" fake can to a 10" barrel and be legal in California?

If the supressor is "blind pinned" it will be legal under federal law. Who knows about goofy Califonia.
Blind pinning is permanent. The pin goes into a one-sided hole and can't be removed. Regular pinning (with a through hole) is not sufficient to be called "permanent" under federal law. |

Blind pinning. Well there you go, a legitimate use for a fake suppressor. To get your barrel to a legal length. (pending California research).
Are you happy now Creepyninja?

fake suppressors
Never understood having one. It's kinda like kids playing who has the baddest looking cap gun or something.
When you shoot it everybody knows it's fake and wonders about your maturity. |
