That silly **** is movie gangsta stuff. Why do you want to mimic

Hey, Dopey, suppressors are fairly popular and would be more so if it
weren't such a pain in the ass to get one. They make target shooting a
lot more...pleasant.

I made my own for a .22 rifle. It wasn’t any louder than a spit.
Made from drilling a cylinder of hard rubber. Really easy


I prefer to stay on the legal side of firearms laws and regulations,
although it is easy enough to make a suppressor from an oil filter. I
am the not so proud owner of two suppressor stamps, one for a .22LR
device and one for 9mm, and I think the latter device also works for
.300 BLK. I don't think I'll buy another suppressor, though.

Oil filter suppressors are YouTube folklore.

I bet it is hard to find a gun barrel threaded in 3/4-16 ;-)
I also wonder how well that actually works since there are no real
baffles in there. I suspect a 2 liter pop bottle would be as good.
I tried the 2 liter bottle thing and even with a .22 it is loud as
hell.

OTOH a 3/8" MC cable connector with 1/2" IPS thread will friction fit
on most .22 barrels. and that works fine with a 1/2" NPT to 1.5" slip
PVC bushing. (or reducing coupling if you can find one)
