If silencers are illegal on guns....

Yikes!! :eek: Just imagine if knives were made with rubber "stops" to cover the sounds of a snap opening? Wow! What a dangerous world this would be. :D :D :yawn: :yawn:
 
I think the question is would something that makes a knife noisier be illegal....is this correct Lavan??

What is a switchblade except a particularly noisy one-hand-opener? That must be the explanation for the switchblade laws. It's sort of a menacing-noise abatement law.
 
i would go out on a limb and say that if there were an attachment to make a gun louder, that it would eventually be made illegal (if it were abused)...

You are absolutely correct. I am planning on adding a bicycle bell to all my knives that I can ring as I run madly amok stabbing hither and thither in the streets.

I just need to know if it would be illegal as I don't want to be arrested.

No worries. Haven't you seen any movies? All knives make that "shing" sound when drawn.
 
I love that crap. The hero sneaks up to the sentry and opens his super quite velcro knife sheath and pulls out his monstrous bowie knife. Making the "shing" noise all the way down to the tip and the quickly and silently takes out the still unaware sentry with a shallow slice across the throat.

See hollywood makes edgeukational films too!

Yeah, that's right! Reminds that I need to complain to a couple of manufacturers, cause none of my knives makes that cool sound when drawn! :D

I prefer the term Muffler. I don't have a silencer on my Truck.

Generations of U S males have needless hearing loss thanks to this pointless law.

Then you must have, somehow, gotten ahold of Class III knives with the rarely-seen and never-heard knife silencers!

It's the sort of thing that Q makes for 007, silencers so good that our hero can shoot the evil vilain in his bed without waking the woman sleeping next to him.
 
One of the funniest cartoons I ....ever.....saw was in Playboy 30 or so years ago.
This assassin had snuck into an office and was shooting the guy behind the desk.
The gun was going, "pffft."

The guy bein shot was SCREAMING, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHH!"

And EVERYONE in the office was stopping to see the commotion.

:D
 
Does anyone remember that wonderfully aweful series from 20 years ago called Sledge Hammer? I am reminded of the Dirty Harry ripoff scene where Sledge puts the Loudener on his gun before going through the shooting test range. The noise produced by his magnum was truly massive. Perhaps this technology could be adapted for knives...

Just remember - never ask Sledge to kill the lights....
