Markie Marxist sez: “We can’t allow suppressors on guns or next thing you know, people will be wanting them on their cars! Silenced automobiles could be used by criminals to sneak up on their victims, and then make a silent getaway to who knows where! Pedestrians would be run over by cars they never heard coming! Bank robbers would be able to make silent getaways, with no way to tell which way the car went! Criminal gangs would prowl the streets in dangerous suppressed automobiles that gave no clue as to their presence! It wouldn’t be safe to set foot outside one’s own home without fear of being struck by silent death! It’s a good thing we don’t allow suppressors on cars, but if we allow them on guns, we could be heading in that dangerous, dangerous direction.”
Interesting. I designed, built and registered a suppressed shotgun that is very easy to make 17 yrs ago. If you want details, look on the Northeast Shooters forum. Find my 9-18-2008 post under ‘Firearms”. Jack.

I think Tromix made one prototype. Performance was not spectacular.
There are some Form 1 shotgun cans out there, but it looks like the award for first production unit will be going to Red Jacket for their Saiga can.

It might be worth it to register and see the pics. Easy to build and a ball to shoot. All NFA regs apply, of course. Jack.
