        I’m not. Nobody has tried claiming they’re silent. Silencer is a very very common term for that attachment, and you know that, but you felt the need to chime anyways.

        If anything, it’s you being unpleasant here, not me.

          Explaining that they aren’t silent and just make guns less likely to damage hearing is the most appropriate answer to someone asking why they’re needed.

          Its also reasonable to assume someone asking why they’re needed assumes they’re used similarly to how they’re presented in pop culture

              You keep repeating this like they were speaking to anything other than the common parlance term? Where did they say they were addressing someone in this post?
