[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 2735333, member: 5412"] Supressors require a lot of cleaning. Mine are gunked up after a few hundred rounds. Back in my day with a week or two in the field at a time, cleaning is not going to happen with the type of gunk a suppressor develops. Heck, I can't even get a good way to clean the crap out of a brake on a .22 pistol other than bead blasting the thing. Several thousand rounds out of a full auto would be a nightmare. Of course a soldier could just throw it away or take it back to the armorer. Agreed. More to come I was talking about how it would be difficult to carry a pistol with a can, along with everything soldiers carry now. More to come. Best dammed response in the whole thread! We do have that technology. Electronics operate at the speed of light. Sound is much slower. We shoot at the range with electronic muffs that suppress the sound all the time. People that work on the flight line, motor pool's tanks, etc won't wear muffs when they need to because they are uncomfortable. Ear plugs are uncomfortable. Folks shuck them when the boss isn't looking. The hearing aid industry has all the technology to produce these to the military and civilians. The cost at this time does not make this feasible. (Hearing aids are a high priced racket) [/QUOTE]
