Did 'silencer' make a difference in Virginia Beach carnage?
2019-06-02
"Suppressor" you Journolist Morons
[Yahoo] The shooter who killed 12 people in a government office building in Virginia Beach used a firearm equipped with a suppressor that muffles the sound of gunfire. It's the nightmare scenario that gun-control advocates have warned about amid efforts in recent years to ease restrictions on the devices, which they say can help shooters escape detection and inflict more carnage.

But gun-rights advocates and most law enforcement experts say DeWayne Craddock's use of a suppressor likely had no bearing on his ability to kill so many people in so little time Friday.

#7  Steve, more like a Mayor Pete fart. A very soft whoosh because there is no resistance or restriction to the flow of gas, or flatus, if you will.

#6  Anyone who ever watched an action movie knows that firearms, especially handguns, emit an earth-shattering KABOOM! when fired. Unless a silencer is involved. Then they go pffft, like opening a vacuum-packed can of coffee.

#2  Reports said some people claimed to have heard shots. Others thought it sounded like a nail gun. How many were situationally unaware because they were "self suppressed" by their earbuds (you just know union work rules allowed their use)
