silencer vs. full auto

[barricade]

if you could only have one or the other silencer or full auto which would you choose? tactical advantages? dissadvantages?

why?

umm SHTF/zombies/nazi aliens Ill take the top gun....
everything else ill take the bottom one

 

[barricade]

lol good answer.

I would like a full auto P-90 with the silencer, the bottom one, nugh said!! and for my second gun the top one!!! Why! Because I can start shooting them a whole lot sonner with the P-90 (while they are farther away) and clean up close range with the A-12

I want "the pig" (M60). The sound of it just scares MFer's!

If I had enough ammo, I'd go full auto! Spray and pray is always fun. But, with the price of ammo, I could go bankrupt in about an hour. Then how would I be able to afford the divorce?!?! Maybe I'd just go for....nope...still full auto!

I think it really does depend on the situation. That being said I think the silencer is generally more advantages than full auto.

Full Auto:
adv- zombies and other close-combat 'targets'
disadv- I'll still want to go semi-auto for any targets even remotely out there because accuracy is so greatly affected even by the lowest recoil weapons. Not to mention the lower efficiency in ammo consumption and noise will eliminate any chance of remaining unnoticed.

suppressor:
adv: With proper tactics, even heavily armed enemies can be eliminated with out detection. Maximum potential for ammo efficiency.
disadv: Accuracy will still be affected noticeably.

As an owner of both (though not the guns pictured, LOL), I'll say suppressor, hands down.

Why?

Full-auto guns have the "fun factor," but that's about it. They are expensive to acquire, even more expensive to keep fed, you have limited options on places to shoot them (most public ranges and many clubs don't allow F/A) and in any situations short of battlefield combat, they can't do anything my semi-autos can't do as well or better.

Silencers, OTOH, have a pretty high fun factor of their own, but they are also relatively inexpensive to acquire (as Class III toys go), quite versatile (one can can be used on several different platforms), have numerous practical applications (there's no better way to teach a new shooter than on a suppressed .22), and you can shoot them anywhere the host gun is allowed.

Suppressor, the stealth advantage is far superior to spray and pray because it's much easier to knock'm down and move when they don't know where the shot came from.

Silencer. Gotta love quiet.

 

[nighthawk80]

My vote goes with suppressor!!(but silenced!)

 

[vxtip]

depends on the caliber being suppressed, you can hear .308 with a can a mile away, and while a suppressor may alter the noise of the gunshot to make it sound less like a gunshot, it could still attract attention from idk zombies!! i'd much rather have full-auto that way you dont have to sneak around with a silencer you can just blow it all away

I want another F/A Thompson.

 

[G McBride]

I agree on the full auto Thompson.

I had the choice to make a year ago and I chose the Suppressor because of the cost of playing with the full auto.

Shooting all day with the silencer on one of my 22's is a lot more fun than a few minutes with a full auto. (I keep saying this over and over)

 

[brwnfldl]

full auto on my vote

 

[iloveguns2]

THIS IS A TOUGH ONE... I THINK I WOULD GO WITH THE SILENCER , AS LONG AS I HAVE REALLY EXTENDED ,MAGS , LIKE MY 31 ROUNDERS FOR MY GLOCK 19

Your last statement is simply not true based on modern designs. Sorry

OP- Suppressor hands down. Be it rifle or pistol.

Well, what about blasting all day with a .22 that IS full auto?

Only bad thing abotu this is thart I can't really safely use my can on it. Now THAT would be cool!!

Suppressor for small operations like a Navy Seals work or special ops but for front line combat quiet doesn't do near as well as full auto!

the pig is the $%^&!!!!!
