I know this from my Arma sperg days but you need special subsonic rounds to be a True Operator (and a smaller calibre)

Best Friends posted:How is it not objectively true that a silencer makes a weapon 400m away harder to hear over the sound of a concert? Momentum doesn't work the way you think it does. Nothing wrong with that, it's really complex.

It's not like having a gun means you instantly draw it and shoot every human in sight when you hear shots. But ALSO, it doesn't mean you suddenly become pistol-sniper man shooting the assailant hundreds of meters away in a high-rise window.

hobbesmaster posted:Because at that distance it's the sonic boom from the bullet you're hearing This requires some clarification: you hear the snap of the bullet passing by or impacting around you before you hear the gunshot at that distance. If you watch the video, this is evident. Objectively, suppressed shots are much quieter than unsuppressed shots.

lol she didxnt even try to hide her seething pettiness. OTOH i commend her for deciding to be just as (publicly) morally bankrupt and daft as the conservatives. After all, had the shooter been Black/Muslim/Leftist, no time would be wasted on spinning this into a "how do we rid them from our glorious society" witch hunt.

MazelTovCocktail posted:You thing she actually cares about anything at this point beyond her own image and remaining in the limelight? I'm being serious. No, but she also can't really remain too quiet. For better or worse, she's still a big public figure in large part, ironically, because no one wants her to be. That being said, I was also about to write "besides being dumb about guns and immediately politicizing it, I'm not sure anything she said was that bad" and then I realized that was literally all she did.

[quote="“The Iron Rose”" post="“476993839”"] No, but she also can’t really remain too quiet.

hobbesmaster posted:For some reason I thought the sound from the rifle dissipated much more. Probably because all my gun knowledge is from gun nuts in Kentucky. Also significant is that the suppressor reduces noise at the source of the shooting. All else being equal, it is conceivable that it would have taken longer for people on the ground to figure out what's going on, identify the direction of the shooting, and take cover/gtfo if the shooter had a suppressor. But then again he ran out of time before targets, right?

Saint Celestine posted:Imagine if everyone DID have a gun. We'd be looking at thousands dead and wounded. In a ton of these shootings there's one or more people carrying concealed and they run like everyone else because they tend to know well enough not to try shooting in a panic. Like seriously who in their right mind would risk getting turned into mush by cops mistaking them for the shooter when they start returning fire amidst a panicked crowd, with an inadequate weapon for the job to begin with.

Best Friends posted:Banning firearms accessories: morally equivalent to genocide Im not morally equating banning silencers to genocide. Hilary, in all her wisdom ,decided a mass shooting would be a good time to appeal to the most rabid of the Left. Which is no different than how the Conservatives will find ANY excuse to politicize a tragedy to rile their base, especially if it means appealing to hate, prejudice, and fear.
