The cheapest silencer Money can Buy

Post by 2nd_Recon »

This is a simple $5-$8 and 5-10 min. silencer I whiped up in my free time. (Gun not included)

To do it, first go to any reputable Bow and Arrow hunting shop. These are orriginally designed to deafen the sound of the bow. They are usually a simple screw-on, which makes it ideal for this use. Some will come with some other thing screwed to the end. You don't need this part. Then, get your gun, make sure there is a hole at the end of the barrel the same size as the screw end of your "Silencer". Simply screw it it, cover it in Electrical Tape, and Voli'a an assassins tool of death.:cool: That doesn't actually work.

1. 2nd_Recon, your link to the picture isn't working

2. I still can't figure out why people want silencers, then have a huge big lound bang sound coming from the gun in some movies! They must forget that "Voot" sound!

3. A bow and arrow silencer? Is this for real?!

Gosh!

Yes, but I never heard of a silencer for a bow and arrow! It seems er, well a bit odd! How does it work? It's not like arrows make whoosh sounds like Matrix bullets!?

It kindof goes "Thump", It works by sticking all the loose parts together so they can't rattle around

Prefer motor racing!

Cool I made a silancer out of a tolet paper tube and some electric tape. I cut the tube rolled it so it was thinner then covred it in electric tape and attached it to my gun. Didn't work but looked cool.

Er, if you want to set up someting simple just to get you started, use Frontpage Express, and contact an ISP - they'll give you details of how to download your website onto their server.

There's other ways of doing it, that way was about one of the easiest.

Oh, unless you're with AOL, you can knock up a web page in about 3 mins!
