I think the Sterling had the best sound supprestion. MP5 was not far behind it, and the loud bolt of the UZI puts it in last. That being said, it sounded like you got some rather good sound supprestion ouf of all of them.
@kiwitedferny It would be interesting to listen to the different ammo. I have read that 147 grain was used in Stens during the war because it is sub sonic, (no sonic crack). Great vids you have here.
as you noted Ted, the sterling actually does begin to fire faster the longer the trigger is held. First time ever firing one i was surprised how quick it started to cycle.
@AWSMFOX The suppressed MP5 is quite a bit louder then the MP5SD. I'll try to do a video this summer. I used a Brügger and Thomet QD supressor on a MKE made MP5 and a H&K made MP5SD
It looks pretty cool when the spent casings coming off the MP5 are ejected directly towards the camera. Looks like it's raining 9mm brass. Included the snowflake feature it looks really weird.
Great stuff Ted, quietest shooting video yet. lol.
I still think the L34 is the most silent of the bunch, even for it's age, it was designed as a silent system from the start though. The barrel is an integral part of the silencer on the 34, unlike the UZI or the MP5. De Lisle's design was just improved a little for the 34 (if it ain't broke, don't fix it). The Delisle carbine was also made at the Stirling plant, so it was just natural progression.
@kiwitedferny When you consider De Lisle was only paid for 500 units, there weren't that many to start with. I'm not sure how many were actually completed, it would be interesting to find out. A few were used to good effect at Inchon, Korea and they were pretty popular during the Malayan crisis. I'm surprised there wasn't more made, the combination of the Enfield action, the sub sonic .45 and the De Lisle suppressor was a classic. The Delisle is up there with the OWEN as one of my holy grails.
ought to see if u can get ur hands on and shoot one of those 300 aac blackout ar15's with a suprpressor, hickock's just uploaded a vid of one it looks silent as shit, huffs a 220 grain .30 cal projectile at 1100 fps
@vxbinaca There's gotta be a way for money to solve that problem. Seriously. Couldnt he start up his own ''war museum'' or something? And have that be a corporate means of getting them?
@passwordresetisbroke A BAR for example, doesn't go for as much in NZ than in the US. He'd be getting a fraction of what they're worth here. And I believe he has a few examples that are almost unheard of in the US as civilian transferables.
@vxbinaca I am wondering what kind of prices he would get from a government buyback if they make firearms illegal (the small arms reduction treaty and all that). (Assuming NZ will perform a buyback, and not just seize them)
I have been told Aussie firearms owners got back nowhere near what thier belongings were worth, and most of teds stuff is valuable collectables, so the problem would be worse for him I would imagine.
I dont know much about collectable trading and such however.
@passwordresetisbroke NZ doesn't have a fifth amendment. See the feds can't just seize guns legally owned before a ban. They have to pay the owners fair market value for them. What I think will happen though is, the ATF will just stop allowing civilian transfers of NFA stuff, then seize it all up from estates as the owners die and destroy it.
@vxbinaca the latest new zealand updates on the small arms reduction treaty is that our police (the governing body over firearms in new zealand) say that illicit firearms trade does not happen in new zealand, new zealand does not produce weapons other than by gun smiths in small quantities and that our current licencing system is well working and does not need adjustment, in other word, the police say the small arms reduction treaty does not apply to nz because we are awesome! win win!
@friedmeat your federal govt powers are rediculous? Can your govenor general disband the federal govt, or just the parliament? if he can, i suggest you send him letters on the issue, its his job to listen to the will of the people and act on the queens behalf if there is a need for intercesion.
sorry but is the sten and sterling the same thing?

@tfordman223 They are all dry suppressors. You'd have to ask Jim wether they'd be OK to shoot 'wet'. I just don't know.
