Re: Bought my first Can Yesterday
I shot a friend's AR-15 patrol rifle with a can on it once. It was an eerie experience. It was significantly less loud, but that is not to say that it was silent. It wasn't that little "spitting" sound you hear on TV. It is my understanding that a cartridge has to be sub-sonic to realize the full potential of a silencer, and even then, the degree to which the cartridge is silenced is somewhat dependent on the caliber. That said, I'll bet that a .22LR would be pretty pleasant to shoot with a silencer mounted.
