That’s a suppressor. There’s no such thing as a silencer. Suppressors are important for anyone who uses a gun and can afford them, because they help protect your ears from permanent damage.
Do they expect to be shooting enough for chronic damage? Kinda a ridiculous statement, brother.
You seem to be under the ignorant impression that you have to fire a certain number of shots before ear damage occurs. Ear damage occurs with sounds above 85 dB. An unsuppressed AR-15 is 165-175 dB. Even a single shot can result in permanent ear damage and tinnitus. If you are close enough, it can deafen you. A suppressor can reduce that to around 130 dB. Still enough to damage your ears, but perhaps enough to save you from hearing loss.
Also, I didn’t say I was worried about their ears. That’s another thing you’re mistaken about. More than just nazis have guns. Many leftists do as well. I myself have a AR-15 chambered in .300 Blackout, as well as an AR-15 in 5.56, among other weapons.
Shooting unprotected is very damaging to your ears and very painful even if it’s just one or two shots
A single gunshot in an indoor space can cause permanent hearing damage, not just to the shooter, but to everyone around them. Especially infants and young children.
Fuck ICE, but the suppressor is not the problem here. It’s literally the only part of that image that isn’t a problem.
William Godfray de Lisle would like a word.
Jeez, guy. Everyone knows what they meant.
Gun nuts don’t have any chill. “IT’S A MAGAZINE! NOT A CLIP!” is a common one I see. lol I say this as a gun owner myself.
Or you know, ear plugs.
So, in a scenario where a law enforcement officer actually has a good reason to fire a weapon indoors, should they ask the suspect to wait for ten minutes while they hand out earplugs to every innocent bystander present? Don’t forget to bring extra small earplugs for any infants with their highly sensitive eardrums.
I’m not suggesting that a group of jackbooted thugs like ICE ever manages to find themselves in a scenario where use is force is actually legitimate, but if that’s your issue then your comlaint is with the existence of ICE, not with the use of suppressors.
It’s a joke guy. Relax
Hey all, this guy thinks gun people don’t know about ear plugs.
Huh, I thought silencer was a brand name like Kleenex or aspirin.
I’m pretty sure it was in the distant past but I’m not going to do the legwork right now to check.
Yeah, looks like I was mostly right. It was invented by Hiram Maxim, and called the Maxim silencer.
You would be incorrect. “Silencers” is not a brand name, SilencerCo is. Just like Kleens is not a brand name, Kleenex is. But cute try, at least.
This is actually a really impressive amount of pedantry and condescension, and I’d read it again. No notes here.
Ah, yes, technically it’s not a brand name like Kleenex, but it is a product name like aspirin.
The Maxim silencer, invented by Hiram Maxim.
