I know a guy that built a silencer for his M2. It worked pretty well considering the starting point. It wasn’t exactly quiet, but it was a LOT less shouty on full automagic than without the can.

Was it the size of a 55-gallon drum? Ma Deuce you’re talking, right? Pretty sure your friend must not live in California.

Probably not the solution in question, but it’s evidently not that big compared to, say, the rest of the gun. Touching the suppressor is not recommended...

Very interesting. I wonder what the results are fighting against an ememy not using suppressors and fighting against an enemy also using supressors.

Same guy I was talking about :)

I wasn’t at THAT 7/4 shoot in Leona, but I’ve been there for 7/4 and 1/1 in years past

Suppressing supersonic ammo is not as effective as suppressing subsonic ammo. The rifles still need to cycle. However, on the “suppressed side”... it’ll still be “easier” on the ears of those around the shooter.

They need better rail systems and trigger groups too.

(Like the recently cancelled M4A1+ program would’ve provided for the Army)

How big is a suppressor for .50 bmg?
