Sure, It's the size of a truck muffler though. And, no help for the
"crack".

ah...actually..its no bigger than about 1.75 in diameter and about 12"
long. All a silencer does is slow down the noise as the powder
pressure wave exits the barrel. A 223 for example..doesnt have a real
big bubble of gas when it exits the barrel. Just a high pressure one

And at 50 yrds..there isnt much of a crack. However there is
significant noise as the targets melon explodes. Like dropping a
watermellon from a 3rd story window. But oddly enough...it doesnt
echo much.

science is often wierd.

Go on YouTube and watch the size of the bubble as they shoot guns
underwater. The bubble of gas is surprisingly small.

Groovy, mon. Wow, the bypass from a wheel gun v. auto is amazing.
Half the velocity is lost, isn't it?

Not half..perhaps 5% at most. Vortex physics are beyond
me...but...thats the estimate.

On the Dan Wesson revolvers..where you could adjust the barrel gap..it
didnt make a big deal of difference...neasured in FPS..its
surprisingly small.
