I've had some loggers cutting my place for a month and we chat a few minutes every morning. Of course conversation turns to guns and stuff and I'd mentioned having a muffler which interested them greatly. Today was their last day so I took my RAR with the Form1 muffler to show off. One guy recognized what it was right off but the others thought it was a pellet rifle when I fired--at least until I opened the bolt and flicked the empty out. I let each shoot a couple of rounds and got a full circle of silly grins at the experience.
Bottom line, these are Amish men who have no idea what "movie quiet" means so really are amazed by the lack of muzzle blast.
