Ok, I'm a newbee so forgive me if you think I am mad by asking a stupid question.
Looking in a local gun magazine, I saw advertised a full sleve fully silenced--supressed 308 or 30-06 centrefire hunting rifle. Now I was under the assumption that these were illegan in New Zealand but was told that if the shop is selling them then they can't be being a big well respected shop that it was.
No I can understand the advantages of silencing your Centrefire. No or very little noise.
So my questions
1/
What I want to know is the full advantages and disadvantages on performance
2/
I own a 6.5x55 ex-swedish mil boltaction. Is it possable to fit a silencer-supressor to the barrel or cutting the barrel down and making up legal length with the silencer, Or is it simply a waist of time due to velositys. I know to silence a weapon the slug must be sub sonic. But I have heard of people making 5.56mm semi/full auto assult rifles subsonic. EG the M-16. Aren't these types high vilosity(supersonic)
Thanks for reading and looking forward to hearing back
