Not the prettiest thing i've ever seen, but these seem to work pretty well for the cost of a 75$ adapter.

I forget, is there a Federal Law in the US that prohibits using a suppressed weapon for hunting game?

In mississippi I believe you can hunt wild hogs anytime 365 24/7 with anything you want...supressed or not.
I know a FFL holder that does it on a regular basis and I doubt he would risk any trouble doing that. Being a FFl is how he makes a living. |

While Ohio allows silencers (registered ones it appears) It does not allow their use for hunting birds or four legged animals.
Silencers are included in the definition of dangerous ordinance. http://codes.ohio.gov/orc/2923.11 Quote:

It was recently legalized in Texas.

What I like to do is pull out my loudest gun so that the guy with the suppressed weapon has to put on hearing protection which negates the purpose of his suppressor. Just kidding but that would be funny.

That happens quite a bit.
I was shooting on an indoor range with eight people on a squad. One guy was shooting with a suppressor. Why ?

Re: Shooting at the range next to somebody with a suppressed rifle
If you have your gun sighted in with a suppressor, its POI will change when you take the can off and cause you to miss your target. No use wasting ammo, even if no one else is using a can.

I think the reason was simple, he enjoyed shooting the gun suppressed just for the heck of it. I personally wouldn't do it, but I am certainly not faulting him, it is fun. And even though seven other people were shooting indoors at the same time, you could hear that distinctive report every time he fired.

One of the range safety officers at the KRRC in WA lets anyone use his 223 silencer. I hear that most people enjoy trying it out on their AR or bolt gun, but a few refuse. He is trying to get 10k rounds through it before he replaces it with a better built model. He plans on cutting it in half to see the effects on the aluminum baffles. If he made it right the first time he might not do that.
