And this one is for shooting down police helicopters.
Oh I don’t need that one …yet.
I approve.
That is awesome. And maybe this is a dumb question but… Would that actually make the report of the gun louder?
I think it might direct the sound so it may sound louder if you’re the one getting shot
I wonder if this would have the same effect in terms of loudness protection for the shooter. The big thing argued with suppressors is that they just want them for hearing protection (guns ARE loud after all) – so I wonder if this would appease some people. Loud guns for the people who want loud guns, and some hearing protection for people who want hearing protection :D (okay okay, I’m being a LITTLE facetious)
What you describe is known as a linear compensator and is fairly common. It doesn’t reduce enough to protect the shooter’s hearing, but it does direct the blast forward reducing concussive forces felt by the shooter and increasing the noise and concussive force to those in front of the muzzle.
Hah, nice! I learned something today! :D
If you can hear the shot, it missed you
these are pistol rounds and thus most likely subsonic. If it’s a supersonic round then yes, but it is possible to hear the shot before you get hit. Possibly even more likely with this.
Sledge Hammer was a cop show. Dude had a loudner for his hand cannon.
Found the clip.
I remember the show but I had never seen that scene. Thank you!
I’d take that shit to the range all the time if it made fart noises at gun volume.
I wonder if you could make a muzzle brake with the floppy bits of whoopee cushions attached to the gas ports…
You probably could, but it wouldn’t have the same volume of the gunshot.
Don’t let that stop you from trying though.
Aim between the eyes! …even if you miss, the the poor bastard’s at least going deaf.
