[QUOTE="FAL Shot, post: 852013, member: 27328"] You MUST shoot subsonic ammo anyway to stay silent, suppressor or no suppressor. That being said, subsonic .22LR ammo is so quiet anyway that you may not need a suppressor. It uses the barrel of a long barrelled bolt rifle as the suppressor. Semi-auto rifles like the Ruger 10/22 have so much gas leak at the chamber that a suppressor doesn't work well with something like Aguila Sniper Subsonic. At night you can see flame coming from the chamber area, the gas leak is so bad. Steel wool packed into a rigid cylindrical chamber that is attached to a barrel of a .22LR bolt gun probably beats the best baffled suppressors. You eventually have to repack the steel wool, but it is cheap. A plastic pill bottle is strong enough to contain .22LR gas, and you form the "barrel" by shooting through it. The gun forms the barrel and it is quite accurate. That gives a gas tight seal as well, which no baffled suppressor really possesses. I have seen it done, and the loudest sounds heard were the firing pin strike and the bolt tightening up, and then the bullet strike on the target. But still, the ammo must be subsonic, and THAT is where most of the noise suppression is generated. The extra weight of a suppressor seems like a waste to me, unless you want to shoot in town near neighbors, or something like that. I'll just keep using subsonic ammo. in my .22LR, and I will have suppression enough. A .25 cal Benjamin Marauder air rifle comes with an excellent barrel shroud suppressor, and it kills small game better than subsonic .22LR, so I would go there if I wanted the best small game silent killer. For the price of a tax stamp and a legal manufactured .22LR suppressor, you can own the entire .25 cal Benjamin Marauder. Screw the tax stamp and suppressor. Anybody with $10 in their pocket can go into any hardware store and buy enough goodies to make a suppressor for .22LR or 9mm Luger, the two most suppressed rounds because subsonic ammo is available for both anywhere ammo is sold.
