Suppressed Air Compressor

Yesterday, I brought my suppressor to work. Our engineering guys have a pretty high end air compressor and I use it to clean the sound suppressor. Any way, the air compressor is loud but when you blast air through the suppressor, it is not. I just thought that was neat. I mean, I guess I knew it should work since compressed air is a gas and all a suppressor does is slow down the gas as it exits. Still, it was pretty cool. And, of course, the exiting air wasn’t nearly as powerful as a direct blast.

    This opens up a world of possibilities. I’m thinking Sunday morning in church after a saturday night of my Extra bean and Habanero chili. 🙂

    Would you still need a tax stamp for that particular application of a suppressor? I think so.

    In 20 years of reading about guns,this is the first time I have ever heard about a suppressor being cleaned with compressed air. So your “obvious” discovery of how it works is at least, as the saying goes, new to me.

    They actually make sound suppressors for air lines. My senior engineering design project used one to reduce the hearing protection requirement for some equipment.

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