| Walther P22 with Silencerco Sparrow |
I've used suppressors in the military and frankly wish they were more widely adopted in the service, and in civilian use. Some may hear that and think we were running around doing assassinations. The truth is much simpler and much less exciting. More often than not they were employed dispatching feral dogs posing a threat to self, team, or mission and to protect working dogs (
MWD) and sometimes for hitting street lights too even. Splinter Cell fans rejoice... For the actual sniper community I saw them as vital. If you have ever fired a weapon in an enclosed space, you'll know it sucks for everyone present, and we don't want friendly snipers giving their positions up. This is also where suppressor's are good for those going into CQB type situations, the reduced noise makes communications simpler, fire becomes less distracting and anything 'loud' is obviously not on your side. So what about civilian usage?
