Changing a bullet’s sound signature

An interesting project called Active Noise Control for Small Caliber Ammunition by the Department of Defense to try to alter the sound signature of a round so that the location of the soldier shooting it cannot be determined.

OBJECTIVE: Reduce or change the sound signature, in terms of magnitude, frequency, and/or duration, of a small caliber projectile as it travels downrange through the use of Active Noise Reduction, Active Noise Control, or similar methods. Overall control of weapon signature at the muzzle is a secondary objective.

I wonder how “suppressed” bullets would pan out in the NFA legal mumbo jumbo?

    Skip right past NFA and just call ’em guns, 4473 for each one. Think how that’ll jack the NICS…what Trump slump?

    Compressed air, nitrogen or some other gas?
    Electromagnetic rail rifle?

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
