Can o' Whoopass

JYB reader Ol' Shootin' Buddy sends me all kinds of good stuff, much of which is too juicy to blog. This one is open-source coolness, though, and it answers a question you'd have never asked yourself but now will be dying to find out: what's the coolest way to package a silencer?

UPDATE: From the manufacturer's site: a silenced belt-fed LMG?

Well, not exactly. This attachment claims only to eliminate flash and reduce the report by 26-30 decibels, "below the pain threshold".

But still, if it's down into balloon-pop range, that's pretty cool.

More coolness on their T-shirt page.

Far more than a balloon pop. And that device is a suppressor, not a silencer, no matter what they call it. Gunfire is 140-150dB, so quieting things down by 30dB results in a still loud bang. Just one not so quickly damaging to your ears. And the bullets themselves make noise; zipping along at 3000 feet per second, each has a little sonic boom attached.

So the resulting noise might be in the balloon pop sound level, but its a much, much bigger balloon!
