M4 with silencer is LOUD indoors!

[markm]

I fired one test shot before filming this and it was painful loud.... like a 9mm pistol shot with no ears on.

Suppressed 223/556 IS very loud indoors, especially when ringing gongs at close range!

I'll take a can on mine indoors over the alternative anytime though.

Just told that there are small 'ear plugs' that automatically stifle
impulse functions as sharp gun fire and reset, much as photochromic
lenses do in sun light. << http://www.espamerica.com/ >>

Viewing the Youtube mentioned above made me cringe as it unhappily brought to mind the time in 1957 when
I discharged a .44 magnum in a warehouse situation. Stupidity with respect to firearms discharge
was rampant then but then there are circumstances beyond one's control.

God Speed to the folks who are educating our Congress Folks
on the efficacy of relegating weapons sound delimiters to the level of a firearm that
can be registered at purchase ... they do have serial numbers as firearms of course.
Then with a swipe of a pen allow the BATF to put them in their proper place for
future generations.

Talk about eliminating needless Federal costs and paperwork while entering a new
age of enlightenment. And the environmental and medical benefits are immeasurable.

Absolutely.

Mark I think an SBR would be better for that type of shooting? That sure did look fun though.

My 16's guns sound like a 22LR shot not suppressed. Loud but plenty good for defense.

Try heavier buffer , ear pros, or 300BLK upper with subs. can go all day indoors with 300blk..

Bullet holes are good way to keep squatters away.

I did run a wide open 11.5 through the trailer too. It was so humid here today. I was sweating through my pants and boots.. shirt 95 percent soaked. yuck.

It seems you trap all of the dopler effect when inside a structure. I know being out in front of a 223 silencer on the open range is painfully loud. Never trapped that noise in a structure til today.... and yeah... hitting the steel with frangibles isn't helping either.
