Let me just reference what got me started in this debate. I respectfully and rationally pointed out several facts about silencers for clarity:

Even with supersonic ammo, they help to save some of your hearing. I'd rather be exposed to 140db than 170db.

They tighten groups, reduce felt recoil, eliminate muzzle flash and reduce the tendency of new shooters to flinch.

All of this^ with supersonic ammo.

With that said; they still spook the animals. Even with subsonic ammo.

Try it sometime, and you'll not want to shoot without one.


My post was met with a touch of ridicule:

"reduce felt recoil" on a 223?...really....now that is funny. Guess ya'lls 223s must kick really bad.....LOL

Since then, I've responded clearly, concisely by using logic and reason without entering into an emotional rant. For that matter, no one here has acted butt-hurt and for that I commend you.

I feel that my responses can be supported by evidence and that I've accurately and successfully refuted any claims to the contrary.

It's already lengthy, but it is what it is. In my mind, it leaves no further room for fruitful discussion. Let's just leave it so. Elk, I've got no grievances with you and I prefer to keep debates in the open. Society just works better that way.
