Yup. Suppressed .22 should be in the “nail gun” range.

Good catch there. I’m 99.9% certain that was supposed to say “22LR UNsuppressed,” as 16-inch rifles chambered in 22 LR tend to be 140 to 143-ish dB with a bare muzzle and standard ammo.

Yo Geoff!

It’s a chunk of the silencer from the Garand Thumb video here: https://youtu.be/Yc5Uesjy4bU?si=zt1FJtSW9IaZVCLg

It was an event like this (albeit there was a $40 entrance fee) where the gun manufacturers / dealers were set up in different bays, rifle range stations, and skeet/trap stations, and you could try out all their wares . . . and then buy and take them home if you wanted (NFA stuff excluded, of course).

Getting to shoot dozens of different handguns on the same day, on an outdoor range, allowed my wife to finally find the one that suited her best (Walther PPQ). And being able to shoot a Blaser .338 Lapua, with S&B glass, already zeroed in at 1000 yards with a spotter calling the wind for you, and then see that thousand yard plate swing and hear the “ping” several seconds later . . . what’s not to like? I’d probably put at least 500 rounds downrange each day — heck of a deal for $40.

The very last one (before Austin political correctness got it cancelled, and similar crap then doom the venue [Best of the West Shooting Center]) even had a special pre-event for an additional fee: “Full Auto Friday,” where there was all manner of giggle-switch fun, including a Ma Deuce and a minigun.

Good times, good times.
