Videos tagged with Improvised Suppressor

This video debunks the Hollywood trope of using a plastic bottle as a firearm silencer. Jason Hanson, a former CIA Officer, demonstrates that attaching a plastic bottle to a Walther PPQ with duct tape results in the bottle being ejected upon firing, with no noticeable sound reduction. The experiment highlights the impracticality of improvised suppressors and touches upon auditory exclusion in self-defense scenarios.

This video tests the effectiveness of a pillow as an improvised firearm suppressor. A baseline gunshot with a professional suppressor is compared to firing a 9mm handgun through a pillow. The results suggest a noticeable, though not complete, reduction in sound, with debris ejected from the pillow. The experiment highlights the potential for basic sound dampening with improvised materials.

This video demonstrates the effectiveness of combining a suppressor with a pillow for extreme noise reduction on a 9mm handgun. The experiment, requested by a viewer, shows minimal noise when firing through a pillow, leading to the concept of 'suppressor inception.' The visual evidence highlights the impact on the pillow and the surprising quietness achieved.
