funny how all these things were possible before suppressors were cool.
fuck we used to plink .22 at varmints all afternoon. somehow we managed, the crops were fine...
funny how times change. but nah you need a fucking AR with all the tacticool bullshit because yer safety....
I don't need to project shit, sporto, you're plenty pitiful all on your own.
Funny how it was possible to grow potatoes 200 years ago before tractors were cool.
You're not gonna take down a wild hog with a .22.
You see a term such as “Nuisance wildlife management” and think it's about shooting rats or something. If you don't know what something means, you can just ask, or google it. You don't need to guess.
The only thing you are right about is that times change. And that's a good thing. These days the availability, reliability, and quality of suppressors are really good. There is virtually no downsides to use one on a hunting rifle. Simply great for everyone.
I've stated in other comments on this post that I'm fully against semi automatic rifles. But keep making assumptions. You're doing great!
so you're rocking, what, .300 blackout bolt action with some enormous can on the end as your 'wildlife management' tool?
yeah that's not the average gravy seal. cool edge case bro. have a cookie.

And yes the suppressor is pretty large. That's kind of the point, won't be much noise reduction if it's tiny.
having a suppressor on a hunting rifle isn't an "edge case". It's quite common these days. Like I said. We don't want to blow out our dogs eardrums.
All of this, just because you couldn't comprehend that suppressors have practical use, rather than your preconceived notion that they're just there to "look cool".
sure, it's for your puppers. uh huh.
Oh I know suppressors have use. I was in the military.
I just think it's absurd for you to have one, porkchop.
