love to suppress a peashooter supersonic caliber, somebody's making expensive jokes

I mean it's probably loud enough to give you hearing damage through protection, a few decibels will decrease that.

$35 earmuffs and some earplugs > $500 suppressor plus $200 tax stamp and a year of waiting imo

For punching through armor

The idea is that you can give a five seven pistol or a P90 to non-frontline troops, and it doesn't weigh them down as they're trying to do their jobs, but when heavily armed and armored enemy commandos sneak in and start trying to blow shit up, these rounds can defeat body armor

I've heard civilian market ones can't penetrate armor. Don't quote me on that.

Yeah I think that's right, they only sell the AP ammunition to law enforcement and military. I imagine there could be third parties though
