[QUOTE="CBH Australia, post: 2135949, member: 116486"] I think they are the same but for terminology. They are heavily restricted in Australia but have practically little restriction in Africa and New Zealand. If you run subsonic ammo they will be much quieter bit I haven't done it in practice. I used one with hunting in South Africa and it quietened down the crack and reduced recoil. I believe they like them to preserve hearing and quieten the shots. The same one with a subsonic load that is below 1040fps or something won't have the sonic boom or the crack. Therefore increasing the effectiveness of the supressor. I think silencers are used by assassin's in the movies so portrayed as bad or for something like that making them restricted. [/QUOTE]
