Silencers aren’t actually silent, they’re still quite loud, it’s nothing like in shows and movies
In real world usage, they’re really only useful for reducing the decibels a bit for hearing protection reasons
Suppressor is a more apt term for them
Of all the disgusting shit ICE/the Gestapo is doing, honestly using a suppressor is of least concern to me
Personally, I think suppressor should be the least of illegal things about firearms.
The majority of the people I know with one have it so they don’t bother their neighbors as much and they have a little extra buffer zone for their earpro.
I’d much rather it sound like my neighbor is using a large sledgehammer all day than gunshots.
The masks, lack of clear identification (not “I’m a cop” but actual identifying information), and what looks like 270 rounds of ammo waiting to go for a supposed
kidnappingdeportation are of FAR greater concern.Like how I don’t play my trumpet at home without a mute. Do suppressors really mess with accuracy? I just read that, but in a comic book so it could be nonsense.
Well, the ones I have used certainly do, since they blocked the iron sights.
In general though, it may have an impact on distance targets, but for 20yds and under? Not noticeably.
Someone who shoots in competitions likely has a much better/thorough/accurate answer than I do, though.
