Hi Jack could you put up a picture of a moderator please. We all might be talking at crossed purposes?
Will JB's own description do??
Now a silencer is what it says, it silences a gunshot just like in the movies. But they have no place in the real world and you cannot legally buy one for a gun. But the prosecution wanted to hood wink the court by suggesting that we owned a silencer which used to suggest that the shootings were carried out using stealth. No one would put a sound moderator onto a un to lower the volume of a rifle as it makes no difference to the sound we hear.
A sound moderator hardly changes the loudness of a gun’s discharge to the human ear. Its job is to stop the sonic boom reaching the rabbit before the bullet. The sonic boom is created when the gun fires like on a jet fighter or lightning and it’s a high pitched whip crack. If the rabbit hears the sonic boom first it would move out of the way.
