Loaf of Bread? Silencer

[indiana18]

I would think the bread would break apart if fired with an AR-15. Has anyone tried it?

What other weird things have you all tried....that actually worked?

The pressure from the gas escaping the muzzle would likely destroy the loaf of bread.

If it had any effect at all, it would be very little, and only once.

None, since it would be illegal.

You may have something here....my wife makes croutons, and it actually takes a long time. Maybe I can help her out by shooting a loaf of bread!

Do a google search for oil filter suppressor. There is basically a thread adapter that is considered the suppressor that you buy (tax stamp applies) that allows you to screw the filter onto it.

I see that same company also sells a "Solvent Trap" that allows you to clean your rifle, and catch the extra oil in a used car oil filter.

I wonder if anybody has actually ordered that solvent trap...

Whole Wheat works the best, it's a lot sturdier than white bread..............

Hmm. I'm a little concerned about this one since this letter from the ATF suggests that a "non-licensed manufacturer," i.e. an individual owner, cannot replace the oil filter without violating the NFA.

The adapter here is not sold as a suppressor:

I'm not an expert on these things. It just piqued my interest, so I looked into it a bit and the red flags started to pop up. I could be wrong.

I seem to recall a soda can adapter to which the ATF also put a stop. This seems like the same concept.

Yeah, from what I've seen, it looks like you can technically buy the Solvent Trap, and have the same sort of functionality, without the governmental oversight.

It looks to me like a free sandwich sitting on top of a large net, with a flashing sign, "Free Sandwich! Not a trap!"

I'd stay away from it, personally...looks like something the ATF will soon be looking into stopping.

I did not stop and listen well, but at the Alexandria gun show a few weeks ago, a gent was set up demo'ing that Solvent Trap. Only reason I'd noticed was a) wonder why someone had a tall STP oil filter at a gun show and b) He, fairly loudly in my estimate, said "No Sir, that would be a silencer in that case and against federal regulations. This is for gun cleaning applications only."

YMMV

How sad that we feel that we must be careful about revealing all of the little experiments that we performed as young men who owned firearms...The ways that we quieted down weapons,shotgun loads we created,mechanism adjustments that we made! (I mean others,not me of course) Some stories are best told among friends I suppose. How did we allow the insane to turn this nation into an asylum?

 

[JoshuaW]

I bought a suppressor?

 

[Dead Duck]

Just buy a suppressor.
Think of how much all the wasted loaves will cost you.

That's a lot of DOUGH.

 

[EvilBlackGun]

THE WHOLE POINT ... (why are we shouting?)...

... is to remain invisible plus inaudible.

DOES IT WORK? BECAUSE IT LOOKS REDICULOUS!

My Kestrel is on order, but I had a similar thought today. Would like 20 socks and some cotton balls on top of each other over the muzzle work?
