This is scary: I know you too well Steyr. I KNEW that's what this thread was about!
Now... more pics! If MI is truly going to let us enjoy quiet shooting... I might need to know about some of this stuff! |
|
I so thought this was fer sure going to be about................................
|
|
|
Actually the DoD tested them on M249 and they surpassed expectations. I'm looking for the data now. |
|
|
Shhhh........bew vewy, vewy quite.....we're killings bad guys. |
|
|
I'd be interested on what you find....and is that shooting regular ammo, or some sort of sub-sonic ammo? I don't know a lot about suppressors, but it seems to me full auto would burn it out fairly quick.... |
||
|
they dont "burn out" |
|||
|
If you have that silencer do you have to register each gun that you put it on? (legally)
|
|
no, you can slap that thing on anything you own. some imported guns are banned for threading or changing to fit the can on but over all its yours and you can do what you want with it. as long as its legal in your state. |
|
|
No |
|
|
Whatever the term is....I do know that at least in older suppressors there are a series of baffles or packed material, and after so many rounds, they start to lose their effectiveness, neccesitating their replacement, or disposal of the supressor. But I don't think they last forever.... |
||||
|
now that is sexy! |
|
|
No, its for the standard NATO flash suppressor. |
|
|
I posted it on an older topic and now can't find it. Generally belt feds are kryptonite to suppressors, this one actually survived and performed somewhat, enough to impress the DoD anyway. |
|||
|
I have heard from people that it will. |
||
|
Shrike is a standard barrel.. So yes. I think... |
|
|
What the hell was the (BOTD) for?
I see no women, other than a heavily clothed one holding a gun. |
|
Very nice! Modularity sidequestion: whats illegal about silencers anyway? |
|
Baffled Device Of The Day... |
|
|
Nothing. You can own them. |
|
|
I want to see a can near a set of cans, damnit! |
||
|
cool so whats this registration thing? |
||
|
you just have to pay a $200 taxto on them, if your state allows |
|||
|
They are a NFA item and registered in the same manner as a machine gun or short barrelled rifle. There is a $200 tax for each one you buy and instead of a 4473 you do a Form 4. And that is what makes this one nice. Instead of one suppressor for your HK, one for an AUG and one for an AR-15 at $200 each, this one fits all. |
|||
|
hey, there it is again |
||||
|
Most states (including Fl) are good to go. You in south Florida? |
|||||
|
yep, Mi-traffic-ami |
||||||
|
no pics as im waiting for my form 4's to come back from my CLEO then off to ATF they go.
anyway yeah all you need to own a supperor is "live in a state that allows them, pay 200 doller one time tax of 200 dollers per device, file a form 4 witch involves getting fingerprints passport sized photo and you need a Chief law enforcment sign off (essently the sherriff or Chief of police saying yeah this person has a clean record and legally own such a device) if transfered to a corporation you still need the form 4 but no fingerprints,cleo signoff or photos needed but the corp owns the item not you so if you ever sell the corp you either have to transfer them to you and repay the tax's as its another transfer or sell them with the corp. |

I'm in Broward if you ever want to check one out. |

My limited understanding about the Halo was that after a hundred round burst the supressor was considered ruined. Supposedly sustained fire is a no no. The suppressor heats up and after a certain temp. it will melt the lead in the bullet before it leaves the muzzle causing it to become unstable and leading to baffle strikes. The baffle strikes are what ruin the suppressor. The .308 isn't supposed to have as much of a problem during sustained fire because there is more lead in the bullet, and it would take too long for it to melt enough to cause instability.
I am no expert, and this is just what I remember about it. I could be wrong. |
|
oooohhhhh, very close. when and where? Markham Park? another sidequestion: ok, then why would a silencer be disallowed? |
