Faux Suppressors

[BP in ME]

What is the point of having one? I see some on GB pistol listings and don't understand why I would want it.

Prolly a flash can…

Like a screen door on a submarine.

Same as a "Tactical" 22lr. Worthless.

yeah , faux suppressors have no practical benefit when it comes to reducing the noise of a firearm. In fact, it is illegal to modify a firearm to make it quieter without a suppressor, as it is a violation of federal law.

If you dive off into the Form 1 world, there have been some pretty nice builds done using Surefire Wardens and other faux or trainer suppressors.

Can you translate, please? What is form 1? I guessing you're talking about building AR's and the faux suppressor is basically a placeholder until you get the real thing (?)

So i have a hk mp5 pattern 22LR, it is a rifle and is 16" barrel it has a fake suppressor on it 1 to make it look like the mp5 SD and since its a 22 its not loud so it just fits the gun. Honestly when i unscrew it the thin barrel is just pathetic. Now anyone installing something like this on a real centerfire rifle i would just shake my head to myself as a waste of money and weight

the gsg mp5's used to have a single wall fake suppressor, the atf was not amused with the fact you could drill a couple holes in the barrel and then that large air void would function, illegal for sure so dont do it. Now the gsg and hk licensed mp5 style 22's have a double wall fake suppressor to make that harder.

What I'm meaning is building Form 1 suppressors. A form 1 is referring to manufacturing your own NFA items, Suppressors, SBR's, SBS's, and DD's. Its nearly an identical process as the Form 4, when you purchase something made commercially. But as a form 1 applicant, you are the manufacturer. It still requires a $200 tax stamp, however the wait times are much less on average than a Form 4 application.
