fake cans?

[evidens83]

They look cool only when they are the real thing. Otherwise, its too ninja IMHO.

on a spikes ar 22 they are the rule

Ya on a 22 they are ok since the gun is already really quiet. I have one only because thats how my ST-22 came with, so without it, it looks awkward since the barrel is so tiny.

I dont like them on large caliber guns. It looks retarded because the gun is still ringing my ear drums, yet you appear to have a "silencer" attached. Makes no sence to me.

Correction, no working silencers allowed. Fake cans are fine.

I say look at it this way...be glad you don't have Washington's laws on silencers. There you can own them but you can't use them. Fo realz.

Not trying to pick a fight here, but could you please clarify? Suppressors fall under the NFA, which is federal law...so you're saying that if you went through the federal process and got the tax stamp to own one, as a Washington resident you are precluded from using it? That is bizarre to me. Wouldn't they just pass a law banning them outright?

They are a carryover from airsofters entering the world of real firearms.

I for one think they can look really cool in certain applications. Before I knew anything about suppressors (which I still know very little about), I thought it would be nice to add a Surefire MB556 (or similar) muzzle break and then be able to attach a fake can with a quick disconnect style. The problem was that it seems each manufacturer of suppressor comes out with their own style of QD connection, so no compatibility. If I wanted to get a Spikes Tactical fake can, I would have to thread it on, which wasn't what i ideally wanted. So what I will prob do is just go with the MB that I want and if I am ever out of CA permanently or if CA laws change (i think that will never happen, but instead MORE laws will limit my rights) I can then add the supressor to go with my MB.

Still fake cans can look cool.

He's correct.

I've got a bunch of friends up in Washington, and they all own suppressors, but Washington law forbids them from discharging a firearm while one is attached in the state.

Most of them shoot in their basement or in Oregon.
