I served two tours in Vietnam, and never carried a weapon. What is your military service?

When it hits, it fires the round.
You Tube channel "Twang 'n Bang" (bow and gun reviews) did a review. Average performance.

Make the case on why sound suppressors should stay NFA items.
What? what did you say?
Could you repeat that, I didn't hear you?

Surprising that rifle scopes and red dots aren't on that list.
That is a legacy law that may have had some relevance in a quiet circa1933 town. alerts local game warden who sleeps with windows open that a deer has been jacked. Oops! crossbows are now legal.

theoretically anyone in sight of a crime is alerted and can note any suspicious behavior after the shot.
then again in places like Detroit 90 something % of the murders go unsolved because the witnesses refuse to cooperate with police.

Then again, though supressors are illegal, it makes you wonder why gangs appear to not typically use them. Guess they don't see any advantage to using a supressor.

Notice the silence about military service of those that advocate the need for military weapons.

The only thing I noticed is your argument still does not make logical sense. You say people should not have "military weapons" yet many people have military weapons as I have indicated previously, and the type of weapons you think people shouldn't have are actually not even used by the military.

When will you answer the question about your military experience with military weapons?

You clearly state that you never carried a weapon...felt no need to carry a weapon, yet you claim to be an expert on military weapons....

I am an expert on small arms. I qualified "expert' with all small arms at the Infantry School at Ft. Benning, GA. What are your qualifications?

As such you would not have used a suppressor, which is the topic being discussed, so it sounds like you have no experience re the topic at hand.

How often do you shoot? Or are you saying you qualified on certain guns in the 60's to never use them again and that makes you an expert?

LOL..if you were in Vietnam, your quailification back then do NOT make you an expert today.

Lets see, my qualifications:

I trained many aircrew members with their 9mm, I have also been in charge of numerous battallion/brigade 9mm ranges, both night and day operations.

I have done the same for the M16A2 rifle, non-crew and air crew.

I have also trained many aircrew members in the M240G both day, night, and NVG, operations while flying and with MOPP suit training.

I also trained many aircrew members in the M240B operatins, just incase they went down in a bad place. The M240G can become an M240B in a matter of a minute or so....

I was a CH47 Standardization Instructor, 2005 - 2009, a CH47 Flight Engineer Instructor from 2000-2005, a CH47 Flight Engineer from 1995 - 2000....

Retired in 2009...

I am an expert on small arms. I have spent more money on guns and rifles than anyone here. For the most dangerous game ("Black Death"), I would advise using the standard weapons for hunting - not military weapons.
