Why Would Anyone Want to Hunt With a "Silencer?"
A columnist with the Atlanta Journal-Constitution was baffled as to why hunters might want to use a suppressor with their firearm. Keith Wood supplies the answer in this latest edition of "BullShooters."
Suppressed Success
Hunting the Alaska-Yukon moose, the largest ungulate in the world, becomes a distinctly modern endeavor when the author and his partner pursue bulls with ARs fitted with suppressors.
How ‘Cans’ Work
Suppressors are often referred to as “cans” because they look like, well, a soda can on the end of a barrel. Note that “silencer” is really not the correct term; suppressors don’t actually silence anything. They merely reduce the audible sound emanating from the muzzle of a hunter’s rifle to differing degrees.
