Me and my friends were still figuring out this new shooter. 20 seconds in, we were told we were on a quiet mission. Stealth was important. My friend was still testing what each key on his keyboard did.
23 seconds in, my friend found the hand grenade button.
Game: “there are way too many of them! We have to sneak around!” Me: “let’s test if that’s actually true”
That is awesome. And maybe this is a dumb question but… Would that actually make the report of the gun louder?
I think it might direct the sound so it may sound louder if you’re the one getting shot
I wonder if this would have the same effect in terms of loudness protection for the shooter. The big thing argued with suppressors is that they just want them for hearing protection (guns ARE loud after all) – so I wonder if this would appease some people. Loud guns for the people who want loud guns, and some hearing protection for people who want hearing protection :D (okay okay, I’m being a LITTLE facetious)
I wasn’t sure I’d been shot, until I heard the report of the loudener. Who boy, there’s no mistaking that!

Yes but in a more forward direction. The shooter would actually get a tiiiiiiiny less sharp crack.
Likely not to an appreciable degree. Horns make a sound louder by giving the thing producing the sound more air to push against, so the pressure waves actually build up and travel through the air instead of just pushing it around.
Meanwhile a gunshot is loud because it’s already a massive pressure wave. Silencers work by containing the pressure spike and allowing the gas to expand and cool.
In fact, muzzle cones were added to rifles and machine guns during the early 20th century for a similar reason, to suppress the muzzle flash from the unburnt powder hitting fresh air and combusting by giving the gases a place to expand and cool. They did also tend to direct some of the concussion away from the shooter, but it’s debatable how effective this was.
Pairs well with the .22 eargesplitten loudenboomer.
4600/5000ths of the way to their goal is just tragic. Someone needs to finish it.

I’d take that shit to the range all the time if it made fart noises at gun volume.
I wonder if you could make a muzzle brake with the floppy bits of whoopee cushions attached to the gas ports…
You could, but it wouldn’t have the same volume of the gunshot.
Dude
Honestly I’m a little upset there isn’t an attachment for the m16 that makes it sound like a clown horn.
Sledge Hammer was a cop show. Dude had a loudner for his hand cannon.
Found the clip.
I remember the show but I had never seen that scene. Thank you!
Aim between the eyes! …even if you miss, the the poor bastard’s at least going deaf.

And this one is for shooting down police helicopters.
