Title: Oil Filter Suppressors?
Post by: skorpx1 on January 17, 2013, 05:46:13 PM
I was looking around on YouTube today and I just so happened to stumble upon this video here, and found it genuinely interesting.

Apparently there's a way to turn an oil filter into a gun suppressor. Its not illegal or anything and its a lot cheaper than buying a "real" suppressor.

But your paying $200 bucks extra to put an oil filter on the end of you gun..... cool if the zombies come and you want a suppressor, but I'd rather pay for a real one.

Did you even watch the video? When the guy uses his .22 rifle he was able to hit a gong at about 75-ish yards.

Can someone explain to me exactly how this is legal without a tax stamp? :headscratch:


It's not. You still have to pay the $200 dollar tax stamp.

Use a new filter by the way. I've already heard stories.

Unless he is a licensed manufacturer than he can make anything he wants.  If the common Joe wants to own one regardless of what it is made of then yes he must pay the $200 tax stamp and have the silencer registered.

Only two things are infinite.  The universe and human stupidity... something something Einstein.

Wow.

.22LR is real easy to suppress with almost any simple container, like a plastic bottle.

Didn't they used to (or maybe still do) make special sub-sonic .22LR or some .22 round?

I always called em .22 short.  I have no idea if you can still find em, I havent bought any in forever.  The sound of the bullet impact was louder than the shot.

theres plenty of subsonic .22LR available, its standard for pest control, barely louder than a high pressure .22 air rifle.

dont let the "short" designation fool you.  There is plenty of supersonic .22 short ammo available. Likewise, there is plenty of subsonic .22 long rifle as well.   :aok
