"that an unsilenced 9MM was way lounder than a .223"

.22lr sounds like pfft.

The welrod was very quite, but I don't know how you got to quietest in history, all the WWII designs were very much over-rated in their performance. The DeLisle was quoted several times to be what we know now to be literally impossible levels of noise.

Yea, but .223 is still loud suppressed. So many people disappointed when they try out their first center-fire rifle cans!

"The construction is no different from what a car muffler looks like if you cut it in half."

I've always thought it sounded exactly like a type writer to me. 147gr and a large volume subgun can, it's my favorite suppressed platform.

"They are called suppressors - the name might seem trivial but it is far from it."

Pro Tip: Photographers and Photoshoppers - always saw it for what it is, blue and black.

Almost all mil rifles were serialized as soon as they thought to do so. Fun fact, if you build a rifle or pistol yourself today - it does not need a serial number. Only if you sell it does it require a serial number.

You can tell because the article specifically states that Obama is excellent and Republicans are bad...

"I design cutting edge weapons for the DoD"

Yes, as a design consultant to a rifle mfg who is producing barrels via button and cut rifling, running lathes, mills, wire and sink EDM, highspeed video testing, and a general background in design and engineering... I'm thick.

Every part of his post is false and I explain why. If he likes semi-autos, he would dislike or not prefer revolves because the barrel is non-replaceable (but he isn't aware it is actually). Along side, that a lot of semi-autos DO have serialized barrels which is exactly opposite of what he is saying.

"a cantilevered reciprocating engraver"

"half-assed conjecture"

Optional vs Required by US law.

Well, it's entirely clear you've never made a damn thing in your life.

Except..... That of the guns that are successfully traced (most of them), this is followed up with the successful prosecution with exceptional rarity.

Holy shit you are stupid.

They have been writing articles lately that "buy themselves" credibility on guns. Gawker is extremely anti-gun, but they know that 150 million gun owners or so may happen to click things.
