Ok, thank you. The second round of answers were generally more informative to the question that I had originally posed.

As to p99guy, I wasn't implying that nobody had ever tried, I was just wondering about legality.

I saw this Gamo air rifle with "integrated noise dampener" which they claim reduces sound up to 52%, and that is what I based my question off of. As near as I can tell, there is no requirement to pay the $200 tax stamp for this air rifle. I don't know if atfe just don't know, or if this somehow is passed through a loophole not mentioned in the previous post about paintball marker And air rifle suppressors being NFA devices. Perhaps it is somehow not considered a "silencer" because you can't take it off??
