Status: offline 		That's not a silencer,it's more like a loudner.

Remember that bit from one of the "Police Squad" films with Frank Drebbin(Leslie Neilson)

He screws a big can onto the end of his gun and a guy asks if it's a silencer and Frank Drebbin say's "no,it's a loudner",pulls the trigger and makes one helluva boom with it.

I laffed my socks off.
