I know of a guy who lived in a mostly retiree (he was one too) trailer park on the St.Johns River in Fla. and he was tired of the possums and such flippin' trash cans etc. so he got a suppressor for a Walther pistol... I think the pistol came with the threaded barrel with the purpose being for the "muzzle brake" like a .22 pistol has a ton of muzzle rise...
The neighbors had no problem with him cleaning up the neighborhood so long as gunfire didn't wake them up... Many well fed gators for a couple months and then pretty peaceful after that he says...
