Reality is any type of noise suppressor or silencer on a firearm with a velocity greater than a 22 will have only a 20 to 30% reduction of noise at best.
I suggest you go to gun range listen and do the math
30% you still need hearing protectection
Second is the size of the silencer or suppressor will be almost most as long as the barrel itself.
Not the hollywod reach in your back pocket slide it over the barrel shoot no one will hear you models you have been led to believe exist
If Supressors Only Reduce the Noise Level of a Gun by 20-30%, Why Use Them at All? - Quora |
Besides using the suppressor you also need to use sub-sonic ammunition. I personally would leave the law as it is. You can still buy a suppressor it just takes a bit more effort and money.
