More fear mongering by the (D)onkeys! Suppressors can only dampen the sound of the powder burning. Any supersonic ammo you shoot through a suppressor will still create a loud sonic-boom once it leaves the barrel. To quiet the shot, you need to shoot sub-sonic (reduced powder) loads - which do not create a sonic boom. The subsonic ammo is naturally slower than the regular ammo. Less velocity, less range, less kinetic energy therefore mass shooters will NOT use silencers! Enough of the fear mongering hysteria from the jack-a$$ party!
