If you are interested in turning a fake suppressor into a real suppressor, you’re not alone. Many people are unaware of the existence of fake suppressors. In fact, many people do not even know what a real suppressor looks like. A hollow pipe filled with steel wool, the ATI fake suppressor, and GunTec’s false suppressor are examples of false suppressors. But, do these suppressors really work?

Hollow pipe stuffed with steel wool

While you can’t make a suppressor from a hollow pipe, you can make one by stuffing it with steel wool. This will reduce the internal noise and decrease the shock wave. Steel wool is a mineral made mostly of iron. Steel is an iron alloy with about 2% carbon. You can buy these washers at Lowe’s. A hollow pipe can also be filled with felt washers to further reduce the internal noise and vibration.

Since the threads on suppressors are odd sized, you can work on them without a steady rest. Flipping the baffle over and drilling both sides can make it easy to do. The thread hole will be smaller than the bullet path hole. If you want to use a screwdriver to drill the suppressor, you can use a larger drill bit with a small diameter.

GunTec false silencer

If you’ve been wondering how to turn a false silencer into a real one, this article is for you. While suppressors are illegal in California, they can easily be disguised as solvent traps. In fact, in California, three companies were shut down after selling fake silencers. Two men were arrested. These companies have used the ‘avoidance of accountability’ to sell regulated devices without accountability.

The fake suppressor from Wing Tactical is a threaded design, which makes installation easy and safe. It is able to fit into most rail systems, and its hefty construction increases the firearm’s stability. Unlike a real suppressor, the fake one will not reduce the sound of firing, but it will add weight to the muzzle, taming recoil and keeping your sights fixed on your target.

ATI’s fake suppressor

If you’ve been looking to purchase a real suppressor, then ATI has you covered. These suppressors can be easily converted to machine guns and are compatible with standard 1911 parts. They also come threaded for a real.22 rimfire suppressor, which is legal in most states provided you have the proper paperwork and pay the $200 application tax. The pistols have the same weight and feel as stock 1911s, with a little scratchiness to the trigger. The magazines hold ten rounds, which is standard for a 1911.

While you may not see a difference, fake suppressors are still cheaper than real suppressors. Fake suppressors do not require fingerprints, photographs, or background checks, and they can be attached to your gun in the same manner. In fact, the only way to tell a fake suppressor from a real one is to shoot it and listen to the noise it makes. A real suppressor requires a background check, registration, and a $200 tax stamp.

Tranquilizer guns don’t work on humans

Trying to trick an LEO by concealing a suppressor is a risky proposition. Even though suppressors are illegal in the US, they can be used to make gun noises. They are not shoot-through-safe and can lead to an arrest, so it’s best to avoid them entirely. Fake suppressors, however, are relatively easy to make. They can be attached to a gun using set screws and can be manipulated to look real.

Many fake suppressors look identical to the real thing, with similar materials and external coatings. Even their attachment to a barrel is similar. The only way to tell a fake suppressor from the real thing is by firing it and listening to the sound it makes. Fake suppressors can only be easily detected when the gun owner is at a shooting range. They are also difficult to take apart.
