It's on YouTube. Mythbusters posts them almost immediately after the show ends. Anyway, while a 50 to 60 dB reduction is huge, it noway gets close to "silence"er, especially in larger calibers. I am thinking about getting one for my Ruger MkIII .22, but the cost of the BATF - $200; waiting time - now in excess of 6 months; and cost of the Sparrow - $500; and the cost of the threaded barrel - $150+ means NOTHING but hassel. Also, the cost of the suppressor "stuff" means I have almost $1K more invested in a $450 gun. HELLO! I get it with the mods, but I'm no fool. If anyone thinks they can get a suppressor and happily plink / target in the City limits of Dallas...wrong. Another "small" issue is that Texas Law states that the possession of a suppressor is illegal even if BATF approves your application. I belong to Texas Law Shield and sent an email to one of the legal gurus. Still waiting for a reply.
Ok lets start with the fact that the suppressor can be used on any firearm you have in that caliber as long as it is threaded unless they are integral. Next sound reduction depends on the suppressor AND on barrel length and ammo used. I can shoot subsonic 9mm through my mp5 with a suppressor and you hear almost nothing Ie hollywood quiet., As far as 22s go the same applies I can shoot standard ammo that has a sonic crack even with a suppressor however when you use say Remington subsonic ( I buy this by the case ) you have ZERO sonic crack and with my 10/22 the only noise you hear is the bolt going click click. You simply purchase a tax stamp and yes those with criminal records do not get approved depending on the crime. Next wait times are starting to drop due to the extra contractors hired to process the paperwork. Last I am unsure where you go this illegal in Texas thing from but I know many folks in Texas with suppressors. As a matter a fact Texas now allows the use of suppressors for hunting with a permission slip. A threaded barrel may cost you 150 BUT you can have one threaded for less.It's on YouTube.
