    Shotgun Suppressor Can?

    I just watched "No Country For Old Men" at the movies last night.

    The contract killer/assassin in the movie had a shotgun with a silencer in it. Probably the size of a soda can, diameter and length, made of billet/spun aluminum.

    Damn thing looked nifty! Considering how ear drum busting shotgun shots can be.

    My question is, is there such a thing?

    The use of shotgun suppressors are common in Europe due to their noise-pollution laws.

      but we can't have em here so that they can close down ranges due to noise pollution.

        You can't have them here due to TV and the stupid people that believe everything they see on it

            Shotguns can be suppressed, but they can't be silenced. unless of course you like having a piece of stainless the size of a 5 gallon watter bottle hanging off the end of your gun

              well yeah.. I know its because they think supressors are only for assasins but.. think about my reasoning. it makes sense. go to angeles and look at the wall of closed gun shops and shooting ranges.

                  I agree. The real question is: Do you know her???

                    Instead of asking, "How?", I'll ask you if they require special ammo? or, does all shotgun ammo work? Won't it be dangerous to shoot wads and/or shotcups through it?

                            Suppressor laws were originally to stop poaching. Law is outdated. Now people think OMG ASSASSINS!
