   @CaptainFuggetaboutit @_Seraphim_ @matty @PatrickCooper This is the device you think is as good as a suppressor yet magically isn't one. Notice the big opening on the end? That's where all of the gas goes. Do you think a few inches of tube is going to make a gun as quiet as a device with an enclosed front end and internal geometry to slow those games?
   
   Ever fired a 12" barreled shotgun, then a 28" barreled shotgun? You can shoot the 28" barreled shotgun a little in the field and only do a little damage, because it's a low pressure cartridge type and the long barrel means the noise is farther away from your ears. If you shoot skeet, or trap, without hearing protection for any length of time, soon your vocabulary will consist primarily of, "WHAT?"
   
   Shoot a single shot from a 12" barreled shotgun without hearing protection and your ears will ring for a good long time - because it's close to your ears, and thus the concussive blast us nearer to your eats, and head in general. It will fuck you up badly very quickly. It won't be a radically louder weapon from a decibel messurement, overall, but the perceived blast will be far worse
   
   A 20" barreled AR-15 will fuck your hearing up like the 12" barreled shotgun because it's a high pressure cartridge, but with hearing protection it's a delight, because the concussion is far enough away. The same weapon with a 10" barrel will rattle your teeth even with earpro on. The device that pushes the blast a little farther away from you, and projected more forward because of its geometry, will reduce the teeth-rattle, but will still deafen you quickly without hearing protection - because it's still a fucking rifle shot with real rifle shot decibels - and be just as loud to anyone forward of the muzzle
   
   If you don't want to fuck with NFA devices, the old school way is to shoot a low powered subsonic cartridge through a long barrel - .22 CB, .32 Long, etc. - so that the powder is all burned up long before it exits the 22" or longer barrel. But put a device on it that reduces the decibel level further, that device is a suppressor, period
