This video debunks the myth that a golf ball launcher is a silencer. While it significantly alters the sound profile of a 9mm pistol, making it a 'deep thump' rather than a sharp crack, it does not suppress the noise effectively. Testing with both standard and subsonic ammunition reveals that the device functions as a hollow expansion chamber, primarily designed for launching golf balls using blanks.

Quick Summary

A golf ball launcher is not a silencer. While it can be attached to a firearm and alters the sound of a shot, its primary purpose is launching golf balls using blanks, not suppressing firearm noise like a true suppressor.
