I really get sick of hearing this question when people find out I have silencers, etc., and "I don't have to prove need" gets boring as an answer. To that end, I shot a video today at the range, showing why silencers are so very useful.
If any of you have fired the PLR-16, you know how loud they are - painful, even with plugs and earmuffs. However, by putting a silencer on the firearm, you can reduce the sound to that of a .22 rifle!

I'm not sure how many of you would be interested in this, but it's a very good demonstration of the safety aspect of silencers regarding hearing protection. It still sounds like a gunshot, but it's nowhere near as disruptive.
I think Maxim was on to something.
EDIT: This is an AAC M4-1000 silencer, by the way.
