of course the muzzle flip reduction is not going to be as noticeable on the .22 as on larger ammo, i just mentioned 22lr sub-sonic ammo in reference to simulating the sound of shooting with a real suppressor, or at least a real suppressor that's wearing out Quote:
there seems to be strong negativity toward fake suppressors in the shooting community, not sure what's that all about. must be some sort of mass hysteria or something. whatever it is, i haven't heard a single convincing argument against fake suppressors. it's just another accessory to me. if you want one, get one, if you don't then don't. what's the big deal. let's face it, fake suppressors have a real purpose and that purpose is they make your gun look like you have a real suppressor on.

I think you should buy two faux suppressors. One to poop on, the other to cover it up with.

Wow this thread got way off track.
Will it completely hide all muzzle flash? Probably not. As for the rest. If fake suppressors were truly an accuracy aid they would be marketed as such and rest assured the price on them would most likely double. If somebody wants to put a fake suppressor on their octagon railed, dual flashlight, laser equipped, red dot optic and scope mounted, vertical gripped, bi-podded, tactical Ipad mounted, 30 pound AR rifle...so be it. The money they spend on accessories helps keep the economy going. |

The best story about the fake suppressors was from a guy that had a fire.
The fire dept. found the gun with the suppressor on it -- the police got involved big time, then the FBI and the BATF. It seems that no one could determine that it was a fake -- took over six months to get his gun back. |

wow, this thread actually convinced me that people who have strong negative opinions about fake suppressors are people who tend to follow popular opinions to try to fit in and can't think for themselves

There's your new motto. Only free thinkers use fake suppressors. Be proud, be loud, but look quiet and full on ninja.
I just got a chill. you?

No one has shown any "strong negative opinions" against fake supressors. The negative opinions are against those who think they have some real purpose other than looking "tacticool"

The key word in the phrase "fake suppressor" is fake. Fake meaning not real, and basically pointless. They are for people who want the look of a real one but don't have the means of having the real thing. Which happens to be the definition of a poser.

and what's wrong with making your gun look tacticool when you can't get a real suppressor. if you're a movie producer in california shooting a low budget movie or otherwise and can't or don't want to use the real suppressor, in your narrow-minded opinion, they should still try to get the a real one for their set no matter what? it's a movie set for gods sake, why does it have to be the real thing?? Quote:
so in your world, if a person can't get a real one, they don't deserve to experience what a real suppressor might look or feel like on their weapon without being a poser even though they're not really "posing" for anything? that's cruel man, that's cruel. hey, as long as they're not "posing" as a police officer trying to pull me over on a dark secluded highway, i'm fine with that...

A fake suppressor only adds weight and length to a gun. They are solely intended for the people who think they look cool. It would be equal to putting a fake a scope or fake detachable magazine on a gun. If you feel the need to spend your money on one, go for it, no one is stopping you. I don't even own a real can but I don't own a fake one either. A suppressor is a functional device. Buying a fake one defeats the purpose.

defeating the purpose of a real suppressor would be putting it on a blank gun or a starter gun, then that would defeat the purpose of the gun AND the suppressor. (disclaimer: i'm not sure how well that'll work since no actual bullet is exiting the barrel but you get the idea) btw, what you do think about blank guns, are they for "posers" too? hey, they're made to look and sound like real guns, therefore they must be for posers, right?

Hey! This troll here was merely trying to bring some levity to the conversation and spread a little humor!
Useful input? From this troll, this troll here does not believe ANY usefulness exists at 'making a gun look cool'. If you really absolutely positively no-two-ways-about-it must have a gun that looks cool, why stop at the fake suppressor? Put a fake lever that makes it look like it can shoot full auto! Better yet, do that on an AR with the slidefire installed! Oooooooo You gonna look so super cool with that!

Fake suppressors are like fake cigarettes. If you wanna be the guy standing around with a fake cigarette in your mouth to impress all your friends then by all means do your thing. It's a free country. But don't get offended when you jump on the Marlboro forum and everyone makes fun of you for not inhaling.
