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)


There are "conversion" muzzle adapters that make the filters fit
properly and apparently there are some filters that are already threaded
properly. I've seen lists and some videos on these.

I still wonder how effective they are. It is definitely nothing like
your commercial ones.


I'll stick with the legal, properly "paperworked" and "stamped"
suppressors.
That is the safe way to go, no doubt but I would like to see that law
change. It is the only place the entire legal system where they make
it illegal to make something quieter. Usually that works the other
way. Imagine a law that made mufflers on cars illegal.
