I made a suppressor over the last few days and just wanted to show it off, lol. I hope you enjoy the video! I had fun making it.

And illegal without a license. Pretty cool, but illegal in the US. Well, except AK and AZ.

 

[inthetallgrass]

Make sure you say mock in the us.

 

[macmillan]

Nice Video, very stealth/tacticool.

 

[nelsonho396]

Now I want to make a 2 feet long mock sil. and then get a svd to put it on. That would be interesting. Besides that nice vid.

 

[felixlaurifer]

Oh thanks for the tip, I'll add a note of that! xD
Thanks, Mac! If i find out that i don't like the suppresser for whatever reason, i'm just going to hide a barrel extension in it and keep the tacticool aspect ^.^ Something i didn't show in this video is that it's very easily attached and detached, which is a neat aspect.
Nelson, that is an awesome idea xD I wanna see that.
Tell ya what, get someone to GIVE me an SVD and i'll make that! ^.^ -kidding! (unless someone really wanted o,o)

Still illegal in AZ and AK, its just possible to get them there. They're federally regulated.

 

[felixlaurifer]

I believe you can own a suppressor/silencer with the correct licence...

 

[bobgengeskahn]

Yeah, thus federally regulated. And thus federal pound me in the a** prison for manufacture of a class 2 NFA regulated item without a license, thus typically why we have stayed away from there here...

 

[felixlaurifer]

Right, thanks for clearing that up. I believe airsoft ones are classified as "cosmetic" and are not regulated

Airsoft gets away with it by marketing as a "mock" suppressor, with no actual internals. I didn't watch your video yet so I don't know what you did to make it, but just a heads up...

Edit:
After thinking about it - airsoft probably 'gets away with it' since they aren't made for attachment to actual firearms. However if you make your own it basically becomes the discression of the officer if it is a home made suppressor or not that could be affixed to a real firearm. I have heard of poeple getting grabbed for making suppressors before, and I know a guy (lives in a foreign country) that made a suppressor for an Uzi with tennis balls, duct tape and a PVC pipe. That said, its not hard, it just makes you evil depending where you live

 

[newbie]

wait, wait, wait, so the most exciting advancement in airsoft is a creapy guy with a beret breaking into my barn to do god knows what with my racoons?

JK, I imagine you had fun making that video

 

[felixlaurifer]

Hahaha, Newbie, I have the same thought every time I watch it tbh xP "THE MOST EXCITING ADVANCEMENT IN AIRSOFT TECHNOLOGY" -intruderwindow trollface-
But yeah, it was so much fun to make xP

Yeah I was going to include details on how to make the thing, but decided against it. Any effect on silencing a real projectile would be tiny, i would definitely go with it being a *mock* suppressor.

 

[Cheese Man]

In AK we can make them, and just so long as they are not easily detachable, they are 100% legal. (easily detachable meaning you don't need a hacksaw to take them off - they need to be glued/welded on)

 

[felixlaurifer]

Apparently in Vermont you can be fined 25$ for possession or intent to sell a silencer 8U
and it's like a 10$ fine if you have a switchblade i think. Vermont has some pretty easygoing laws xD

 

[scourge]

Really enjoyed it! The "sexy" there at the end somewhat threw me off but very enjoyable! Haha

 

[felixlaurifer]

Haha, thanks! I dunno if the "sexy" belongs there, tbh, but whatever, it works

Thanks though ^.^ i really enjoyed making it and it's awesome to receive praise

 

[goldentrigun]

I'm not so worried about silencers on airsoft guns. If you wanted to make it legal you permanently mount the thing to your gun. Then its no longer a attachment which silences it is actually part of your gun and is the actual report of your gun.
Real gun owners use this same technique to have shorter barreled m4s without having to go and get a short barrel license. Although they use flash hiders and not silencers to do this.
Silmilar concepts. Although piss off the wrong person and I'm sure they will find a way to get you in trouble.

Another thought to ponder is if our government is concerned about airsoft silencers why would they let us import them into our country. Customs is ran with the same rules and regulations as our government so it wouldn't make much sense to have them allow it in, but then cause us grief once get receive the item.

Also, a silencer can be anything used to change the report of a weapon fired by as little as two decibels. There are quite literally thousands of things which will change the report of a AEG. Not so much on a real firearm where it can be reused.

That's my two cents on silencers and the US.

 

[inthetallgrass]

TBH I really don't think that anybody in the US gives a crap about silencers on airsoft guns. Even ones made to quieten them. They don't do anything dangerous. I am sure that no one will care as long as you don't wave your gun around in public or make a silencer for a working gun.

 

[slientshooter]

Tell that to New York City, the city banned all airsoft guns.
