Of course this may be a well opinionated question. I haven't done much research, but I have found this one: http://www.advanced-armament.com/pro...ifles/m42k.asp It only reduces the sound about 35dB. That's not much more than a loud whisper in a quiet library, especially considering that my gun probably produces in the neighborhood of 115dB. Is a 35dB reduction very noticable? I'm looking for a supressor that "significantly" reduces the sound. I'd like my .223 cal weapon to be as silent as possible. Any direction or recommendations?

Thanks!
