Silencer Physics Question

General silencer discussion. If you want to talk about a specific silenced rifle or pistol, it is best to do that in the rifle or pistol section for that brand.

All NFA laws apply.

Yes, BUT, the pond also must be on a separate treadmill. I'm not saying you're incorrect, I'm merely not not adding that your assertion was incorrectly right.

I'm not sure what good putting a hole in either treadmill would do but I'm open to the suggestion.

Perforation may or may not matter on the treadmill, but as a silencer "expert" (I watch a lot of CSI) I can tell you with 70-80% confidence that your silencer MUST have a hole in the middle of it.

Not this isn't generally accurate from a casual conversation perspective... but... since this is an honest to goodness technical thread, for a silencer to be functionally able, it will need at least 2 holes. To be effective, several additional ones will be required.
What amount of a man is composed of his own collection of experiences... and the conclusions that those experiences have allowed him to "know" for certain as "Truth"? :Ick

Heady stuff here ... definitely worth contemplation.

Two? You mean 2? Let's keep this theoretical... no need to get all math-e-mati-kal on us.

"Oooooh! Look at me! I can count to two!"

Big whoopty-doo... I've been counting to towo since I was 9.

I'm... uhm... well... it's a wild party, right Sensei?

To help with clearity of meaning, complete sentence structure in a post is important... and will help in leading readers to the associated... point?
