If I owned a gun the answer would be "yes"...

I own more guns than just about anyone on AT, and I don't like the sound of gunfire. It's harsh and jarring and it tends to alarm me.

Suppressors FTW.

Yeah, I always thought that it was too bad silencers/suppressors are illegal, because it would make it much more relaxing to target shoot. I guess that's what happens when average citizens get stuck between criminals and a hyperreactive government.

The more RPM the better.

As an example, I very much enjoyed attending this event.

Nice!

Do you know what they where using to cause the explosions? Barrels of gas or something down range?

Suppressors inhibit both velocity and post surge.

So basically, more skill to calculate bullet trajectories?

"This is the AK-47. Preferred weapon of your enemies. It makes a distinctive sound when fired at you."

From personal experience, I can vouch for that. There was a HUGE difference in the sound made by an AK when compared to the sounds made by M-16's ...many of us carried AK-57's as back-up weapons for use in places where an M-16 would tell the enemy we were in their back yard...

223 has a high sharp report and 7.62 has a deeper lower report.

Are the advantages of the M-16 really enough to carry one along with an AK-47, including two different types of ammo, non-interchangeable mags, etc.??
