[QUOTE="Ucsdryder, post: 2358385, member: 94543"] Prove you wrong? Your rant made no sense to begin with. Nobody argued that an animal is “jumping the bullet”. Of course the bullet gets there before the sound. If it’s a kill shot you could shoot it then announce it with a megaphone. On missed/wounded game a suppressor will likely give you an additional shot where a non suppressed rifle won’t. As far as ballistics, I hunt deer and elk, apparently some of us hunt armored vehicles? The loss of 100-150fps in MV has absolutely zero impact to my killing ability out to 700-1000 yards, so another moot point. What about recoil mitigation? Another nonissue? A suppressor is going to tame recoil somewhere in the 25-40% range. That is a huge benefit! It allows the shooter to practice more at the range, therefore becoming more proficient in the field, as well as get back on target and spot shots in the field. Oh, and how about those little things sticking off your head. If your hearing isn’t important to you then maybe suppressors are a waste of money. If you like to be able to hear, they make the gun hearing safe. Plenty of logical arguments against suppressors on this thread, but this isn’t one of those! [/QUOTE]
