$130 for a disposable suppressor? Jeez.
I always just stuff a 2-liter soda bottle with paper towels and duct tape it on for those impromptu assassinations, myself.

For certain applications a very cheap suppressor with a service life of a few dozen rounds can make sense. With US law, it is more problematic. I wouldn't call $130 that cheap though.

It'd be great if it was a rifle caliber supressor and you could just pick one up once a year just for hunting. But thanks to good ol elected officials we can't have fun.

I wouldn't be worried about having to pay the tax stamp, they are never going to be imported because suppressors are considered firearms and I'm confident that they would not meet the "sporting purposes" clause.

From the video:
Really? A suppressor with baffles? That's revolutionary!!!

Legitimate is a poor word choice.

Even minus the tax stamp, $130 is pretty ridiculous for the service life. $30-50, sure; otherwise (especially outside of the US) standard suppressors are available for not that much more. I hear from a couple friends in the EU that cans average around $200 there.

Think of ways suppressors are used. Think of governments that buy them. Think what those governments are involved in that a suppressor might be of use. Think why the element of secrecy is realistic. Now take that and apply it to the concept of a disposable suppressor that after a few shots will be rendered unusable. Many governments, including ours, purchase blank (unmarked) suppressors for certain agencies to use for "need to know" particulars. This is not a movie, this is reality. Some of my company's suppressors have been sold to US government agencies that bought them with a pretty concise MENS (mission essential needs statement) attached to the purchase order. I know for a fact the government carries out personal diplomacy based on those alone.

The obvious "legitimate" use of a sound suppressor for firearms is to make the muzzle blast more pleasant, if not totally "silence" it. Other than to reduce the noise, why would you need any OTHER reason to justify owning one? Let's face it; gunshots are downright annoying, and even harmful to one's hearing. Anyone that would need more reasonthan that is just not using common sense.

Ditch the moral arguments. If underwear were licensed would you say someone was dishonest if they wanted disposable underwear?
Imagine if the US military could buy a limited-use suppressor for $15/each. It would be designed to work reasonable well for one combat load for an M4. It would be essentially disposable, much like a stripper clip or a magazine. In this model, they could be issued ubiquitously instead of in limited numbers and it wouldn't matter if they were lost or destroyed.

The entire world does not have the same restrictions on silencers that we do in the US. If we had "registration" on 30-round magazines (and thus super over-engineered models on the market that lasted forever), it would be a logical mistake to assume that a regular AR-15 magazine made overseas - no serial number and no registration - was for "nefarious" purposes. That line of reasoning fails.

I have a hard time thinking of a reason to buy a disposable handgun suppressor... Especially one that costs over 100$
Not that I don't like suppressors, I have one for my AR and ordered another for my Glock, but the whole disposable thing seems kinda weird.
Tell me where please, my B&T will cost 600€:banghead:

im just having trouble imagining a situation where someone other than a hitman or gang member would benefit from using a suppressor that only lasted a few shots.......
if you could supply me with a situation then ide have no problem with it......but i cant think of one.

I posed on in post #16
so your telling me the military can spend millions of dollars on tanks, planes, ect.......but a few hundred dollar suppressor is over the line.......as it is, your average soldier is sporting around $17,000 in gear.......i really dont think they're strapped for cash........

But suppressors aren't issued to every soldier either.
I didn't say they were strapped for cash. I said that was one usage model for a limited-use suppressor.
Here's another one. Say you're a sport shooter but need to dispatch raccoons in the back yard from time to time. A cheap, limited-use suppressor would be perfect for that person.

Take a look at the sociopolitical history of Africa and it's many genocides (where this video was shot, and where this item is available). That's all you need to know...

The suppressor is manufactured in Austria by Glock. How is Africa relevant other than it's where Pincus shot the video?
