suppressor, silencer, can, SOUND MODERATOR

up top where clarkey is describing his guns. he has suppressors for most.

Sorry guys I'll speak English it's a silencer, we Brits haven't quite mastered the language yet :-)

damn, you need to join the redneck comedy tour

No mate it's not a legal requirement to have one, the sound moderator is classed as a firearm in it's own right you can't just have one you have to apply for it and have it entered on to your licence before you can buy one. They used to be really anti you having them I think the police thought we were all going to turn into hit men and start assasinating people.
I like to use one for Deer stalking, there is a good chance you can get a second shot if for some reason you miss as the deer don't seem to know where the shot is coming from. I have one on my .223 and rim fire because I mainly shoot at night with those mainly rabbits with my rim fire and I lamp foxes with the .223.

Hi they are now since Michael Ryan went and shot up Hungerford with a semi auto AK, you can have assault rifles but they have to be straight pull meaning you have to cock it everytime you fire it. You can only own a 3 shot semi auto shotgun on a shotgun certificate anything holding more than 3 shots has to be on a firearms certificate.
You can have semi auto rimfires in the following calbres .22lr and .22wmr, everything else has to be cocked everytime you fire it including military rifles.
Pistols are now banned except black powder but they are getting around this by buying long barreled pistols, also a deer stalker recently took the police to court because he wanted a pistol to humanely kill wounded deer and he won his case so you never know we may get them back yet and there is a campaign running to make them legal again.
