Indeed John and I think the SMH article refers to a couple of them.
I would certainly like to hear that shooters are active and (sadly) give them a
wide berth as I have done already in Binya State Forest.
The thought of the "West Sydney drive-by boys" getting their hands on a supply
of silencers isn't that appealing either and the Police Minister seems
singularly unimpressed with the idea.
But lastly, and those better qualified on physics please correct me if I am
wrong, but muzzle silencers are only effective on sub-sonic arms (eg handguns
and say .22 rimfires). Once you get to anything capable of reliably handling
deer or pigs you are way out of that league. And then there's shotguns?
