    fully suppressed

    Has anyone had any experience with fully suppressed centerfire's? One of them shiny rugers with full length suppresor in .308 seems to be the go....... just wondering what the usability, carryability, shootability, quietability is like. Im looking mainly at using the quick stuff not subsonic, so not wanting complete quite..... yet.

    They make about the same noise as an unsuppresed .22 magnum.

    A mate has a .300 Whisper with all the correct running gear. Ridiculosly quiet!

    Have played with an L1A1 with screw-on suppressor and that is like a .22 magnum. Not a bad reduction for a .308.

    ... I have also had a 12 Guage shotgun with a suppressor demonstrated to me... inside a shop!
    A huge laugh!!!

    And the award for Understatement of The Century goes to... Swoop!

    The day I fired an L1A1, I thought we'd have the Noise Abatement crew from Hamilton turning up to have a word with us - and we were out at Te Miro Reserve!

    Difficult to describe the "sound" that did come out.
    Nothing that you could believe was a "shot" being fired.

    Can anyone let me know if they have or see a Mosin Nagant for sale? 91/30 version please.

    Useless arseholes at "reloaders" are hopeless.

    I put down 1/2 the payment for a Nagant in the shop and said "ok will you put on back for me?", meaning one of the ones they had in the shop right then, and they go "sure sure". I even told them it'd be a while before I get it and they said it'll be fine.

    Go to get it, "oh we don't have any nagants in stock", the worst part is the attitude I got from them, didn't care at all.

    Maybe I'm just unlucky....

    I have read that too, but thought that they should be a bit quieter that that. Not that the .22 mag is overly noisy but if its just the sonic crack of the projectile a suppresor that size should be very effective on the muzzle blast. Having seen the suppressed AW's in use (from the safe end) I thought they should be a bit better than that. Maybe I should just buy one and find out.........

    I just watched a doco on machine guns. Best was the Yank A10 Warthog plane that fires 30mm rounds, can empty its mag of 4200 rounds in 12 secs!
    Each round is about300 mm long & the projectile weighs 0.5 kg.Yeeehaaaaa
