  • Not a silencer, flash supressor.

  • Wrong, it is a suppressor (aka silencer) not a flash suppressor.

  • @Mongo63a well it doesn't seem to work real well, the muzzleblast can still be easily heard. maybe it lowers it a bit but it's not an effective silencer

  • @drewnickel They are effective enough so that you do not have to wear hearing protection. The subsonic crack from the bullet is louder than the report from the muzzle. Typically a sniper will utilize one so that he shoots past a sound reflecting object to obscure his location. The military is starting to use more of them every day to protect the troops hearing and improve communications since they do not have to wear ear plugs and the muzzle blast does not deafen them.

  • The swedish version of BAR is cool!

  • Ricocheting tracers look so friggin' cool.

  • If you like what you see; consider contacting your elected representative about a repeal of the Hughes Amendment to the Firearms Owners’ Protection Act of 1986. A repeal of the Hughes Amendment would once again allow legal registration of automatic weapons (in accordance with the National Firearms Act of 1934 and the Gun Control Act of 1968) for civilian use.

  • hahaha i love how he tracers at the end fly so high when the ricochet

  • Interesting stuff, particularly how the heat seemed to radiate rapidly through the barrel of the Swedish BAR.

    Also, the BARs magazine seemed to show up rather hot. Any particular reason for that?

  • Second Amendment FTW! lol

  • mic placement makes a huge difference as well as reflective noise from the sonic crack of the bullet flight.
