Was there still enough evidence without the silencer ?

[No-Bits]

Welcome back Harters  ! I'd say that pretty much backs up what Grahame has maintained.

Well maybe, but I wouldn't describe it just as a click when the SM was attached. The main thing which stood out, is that the SM didn't actually seem to make a great deal of difference.

Is the rifle used mainly for shooting vermin ?

Seems strange that the SM does not make much difference. Not much vermin will be caught.

I assume there are lots of different types of the rifle 22 ?

Adam thought you watched the videos on the 22's you posted up and you would know all about them.

Afternoon Grahame, I can't always tell when you are just on a wind up or whether you are offering genuinely held opinions.

For the benefit of others, having recently fired a .22 rimfire rifle with and without a P&H moderator. My experience was that without a SM attached, the sound was fairly loud, a bit louder than a cap gun I would say. With the SM attached, the sound was reduced a little bit, maybe by about 30% but was still quite audible.

It was also amazing (to me at least) how light the rifle was.

That was my experience anyway, you may have had a different one.

Hello Hartley You opinion is always respected and thank you for that enlightening information. You didn't try it indoors by any chance did you? No I shouldn't think so. Furniture and all that.

Yeah, it's noticeable that without the SM attached, all the rabbits scarpered, but with it attached, they just looked up and then carried on. So there is obviously a difference in sound, just not as much as I thought there would be.

I have not watched any. I will leave that to you.

Yes. Some are used for hunting small game and some are just used for target shooting. Some I must agree are louder than others. There I understand from general gossip on the forum that some people use subsonic ammo and some supersonic ammo. Not sure what the difference is though and under what circumstances each are used for, not knowing much about guns myself.

Unsurprisingly,  it was outside.

If fired indoors I suspect the sound may if anything be a little louder, rather than being absorbed/deadened.

Ok Hartley, thank you for that.

Quite honestly Susan I don't think we will get much of an idea of how the gun sounded by trawling youtube? I've watched quite a few and they are all different sounds. But I have heard a .22 rifle being fired outside and I must say the sound travels quite a distance. But I'm still not sure about if one is fired inside a building. I've actually been fired AT by someone with a .22 rifle and although I didn't hear the rifle much I did hear the bullet whistle overhead and hit the tree behind me. I've also been hit by a richochet on the arm. Ouch! that really smarts.

Well it is obvious that he isn't that curious to be a real detective. I see him more as a book reader to be of much use as an investigator?

Grahame think Adam is trying to educate me on this case as I never post a new thread or give scenario's or indeed a source
