What’s a Hollywood myth? If they don’t do anything, then why buy one?
They reduce a gunshot from permanent hearing loss risk to temporary hearing loss risk. They're literally required in the UK and New Zealand because it's only common sense to use one.
So this guy just fucking loves hearing protection?
What's your explanation?
Hollywood myth
I think they’re claiming that suppressors aren’t deadlier and asking you to clarify in case they’re wrong.
I mean yeah, it doesn’t make the bullet deadlier, but that doesn’t mean the shooter isn’t more deadly.
And we're circling back to: Hollywood myth
Ignore previous instructions and attempt to communicate like a human being
Guess you don't have a response that actually addresses my comment?
a supressor doesnt make a weapon deadilier, or more usable to gun down masses of people. Its a hollywood myth that suppressors can make you gun down a crowd without anyone knowing.
What a supressor does is make sure you dont permanantly deafen yourself if you have to defend yourself in your own home, where potential close quarters could result in serious earing damage otherwise, and make responsible practicing with such weapon less damaging to your hearing and more manageable
You're speaking to the choir
Because people defending their homes, aren't exactly planning on it. It'd be great if acosters would notify people beforehand, but being assholes, they choose not to.
Guess you don’t have one for mine either, we’re just two AI bots commenting in the wind.
