Fraudulent???

Wrong..........You should be RTU'd and do more research,



Sorry Pal.

Hi Jack could you put up a picture of a moderator please. We all might be talking at crossed purposes?

This pal is our chief administrator on this forum and very respected Jack.  I don't know what RTU'D means but please be mindful.

I know nothing about guns and firearms, but tried to look around the internet, and people say they are the same thing.

I found the same thing - that they are the same thing.

I'm more interested at the killing a rabbit at 80 yards. Perhaps the rabbit died laughing?

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.

And it makes a louder noise if it hits the belly of a rabbit as opposed to its head.

[lookout]

Does it ?

[JackAll]

Most of the time they go straight through it, so I guess it is irrelevant....but a body shot is usually louder IMO

......and head hit ones usually somersault into the air......

Grahame.....the US Marines are trained to hit targets with iron sights on an M16 rifle at 100, 200, 300 yards.......it is a 5.56mm round (basically a .22 the same as the Armalite)

I have seen shooters with a .303 hit 10/10 with iron sights at 500 yards....

My air rifle is FAC.......I have no worries over dispatching vermin over 50 yards range.

Don't poke it above the parapet though............

Cheeky thing.

No no. You said that a moderator goes the full length of the gun. Perhaps you could put a picture of both a moderator and a silencer so we common unknowledgeable folk could see the difference.

Yes I know that. But they are much bigger guns and would probably blow the rabbit to bits anyway. I'm not an expert though and I should think you could do as you say you can do? But isn't it well known among sportsmen that 45 yards is to be more certain for a kill with a .22 air rifle. I only heard that mind. As you know I am not very knowledeable in regards to guns.
