come one, come all, get your suppressors

Have you ever wanted to get a suppressor for your assault rifle or hand gun, but couldn't due to Michigan laws? Well now you’re in luck, earlier this year Michigan passed a law that allows you to buy a suppressor. many people don't see the use of a suppressor and that if you have one you are more prone to use it for illegal activity. Now some people may take that rout, most wont. The point behind getting a suppressor is to "silence" the firearm, and in doing so it helps reduce the effects of the defining noise that would normal come out of the barrel and cause slight disorientation to someone who isn't accustom to firing a gun.

Many people don’t know how a suppressor works, so for those of you who do not here is a little description of how it works and who created it.
A suppressor works in much the same way as the muffler on a gas combustion engine. In fact, both were developed around the same time by Hiram Maxim. The primary function is to cool and slow the escape of hot, high pressure, combustion gasses into the surrounding atmosphere. As a practical example of how this works, imagine two inflated balloons. If you were to pop one of the balloons with a pin, the air inside would rapidly expand into the surrounding, lower pressure air over a very short time period. The result would be a loud pop. Take the second balloon and simply release the neck. It will putter around through the air as the higher pressure air inside slowly escapes through the neck into the lower pressure surrounding air making much less noise.

Suppressors are used by the military and law enforcement for their snipers. As well other government agencies may use them from time to time depending on the situation they are in. But they are not very common or practical for every day shooting, for one when you attach a suppressor to your weapon you are reducing the distance the bullet will travel for one and you are adding on extra weight to the weapon as well. That’s why you mainly see snipers with them on their riffles and not the ground pounders that are busting into the house or whatever it is that are doing. Also a sniper will not have the suppressor on the riffle all the time, the “silencer will remain off the barrel until they are in position that way there won’t be anything extra hanging off the barrel to get caught on anything.

For most people the closest they will come to using a suppressor is in video games like Call of Duty and many other first person shooter games. Now if you decide to make or buy a suppressor just remember to get a license to carry and poses it or you will be looking at around a 10 year sentence and the surrendering of all your firearms and forfeiture of all future weapons you acquire. As well you could be slapped with a $250,000 fine due to the NFA (National firearms Act.)
