Full Auto & Suppressed!

[Blacktail 8541]

I was at the range today haveing a great time and in pulls 2 vehicles. Out pop 2 men and start double tapping with a ar and 30 rounders. No big deal probably registered I think. Durring a cease fire I walk over to them to see what they are shooting and say hi. Their vehicles are cramed with gear! One guy pulls out a Suppressed 9mm AR and as soon as the line goes hot they start shooting long burst of full auto. They stay about 30 min and start to leave. As they get even with my vehicle they stop and walk over. They are eyeing my ARs and ask a couple of questions. I show them both rifles and point out that they have fixed mags and require a tool to remove. They asked why they need a tool. I proceed to explain about the regs and what you can and can't have with differant types of off list builds. They asked what brand off lowers as they had not seen the makes they said. I told them the brands and pointed them out on the recievers. They complimented me on my weapons and left.

Tonight I called a certain LEO friend of mine and described the vehicles they were driveing and gave him a description of the two men. He knew who they were right away, local DOJ agents! So even in a rural county you better have your act together and stay leagle. By the way the were very easy going and polite.

I have a number of LEO friends as well as family in law enforcement. While some LEOs' can be a royal pain, They still do a necesarry job. I do agree some are more equal than others, as they get all the fun stuff and we can only dream about it!

Good thing all your stuff was legit. What's DOJ need FA and suppressors for?

For when they feel the need to come for our OLL's under some other pretenses......

One legitimate need for the use of suppressed firearms by LE tactical entry teams is to mitigate the hot gasses that escape from the muzzle of the weapon when/if the need to shoot arises when making tactical entry into clandestine drug labs. These places usually contain an explosive fog of chemicals that are just waiting for the right ignition source so that they might go BOOM!

To highjack the thread... Can this REALLY be the case?


I would think spark comes from the ejection port as well.... In fact I remember a case where SWAT would not go into a house that was filled with gas by the "perp". He had turned on the stoves without flames...

They ended up breaking out windows, doors, and a wall I think to air the place out.

My point is--They had silencers....

I really dont think that is true. Think about it...no LE is going to have a shoot out in a gas filled (or chemical filled) house even with a supressed firearm. They would be more worried about their bullets flying and ricochet off objects that spark and make a ignition source.

I remember watching a SWAT entry on TV...the LEO was going to toss a flashbang into the house but then he smelt gas, so he couldnt. I put the pin back and the flashbang exploded in his pant pocket.

Hunting down and apprehending dangerous desks.

I don't have any ideal why they would have suppressors. But they did. It was way cool seeing them shoot full auto and hearing only a fraction of the sound you would expect. Even with my time in the USMC it was a rare occasion to see suppressed weapons being fired.

The DOJ is pure hypocracy. They get the fun stuff while we are stuck with these neutered junkers instead of LE quality lowers.
