They make it so all us plebs who don’t have ear pro don’t go eeee so bad the rest of our lives if they have an acorn fall on a car nearby, to use internet speak
Exactly - they don’t work like in the movies. There’s no tactical advantage to them for police. All they really do is protect the hearing of the shooter and make it harder to figure out the exact location of gunfire in the area in combat.
Law enforcement should want guns to be really loud to draw the attention of other law enforcement and entice citizens to flee if a gunfight breaks out.
That’s one thing they do. If the job of police was to protect their own hearing - great. But that’s not their job.
Suppressors make it less-obvious to a novice that a loud sound is a gun, keeping bystanders from fleeing. They also make it harder for other police to determine the direction and distance of gunfire, and when police are shooting, they generally also want backup.
I wager it’s all about being tacticool with the accidental bonus of hearing protection. If you’re rocking up in full knee pad battle rattle at the same place the guy behind you wanders into with his sneakers…this is not a well coordinated bunch of chucklefucks
Why do they need supressors on their guns?
I’m a huge gun enthusiast, and I love shooting suppressed, but law enforcement shouldn’t be using their weapons so much they need supressors.
suppressors reduce gun volumes from instant hearing damage to still instant hearing damage but quieter. They don’t work like the movies.
law enforcement should not have weapons at all. The suppressors are fine.

Dust maska prevent lung damage. If the job of coal miners was to protect their own lungs - great. But that’s not their job
I hate cops as well, doesn’t mean I don’t understand why they wouldn’t want to become deaf if they ever need to use their gun
So they’re prepared for alleyways executions
(I kinda wrote it as a bad joke…. But re-reading it I feel it’s becoming more and more of a possibility)
So they don’t give everyone on the squad instant tinnitus if they fire one indoors. I suspect it’s more about hearing damage than being sneaky.
