These foam ones are the ones that CBSA has problems with. I was at a LEGAL testing of an airsoft foam silencer on a real steel .22LR rifle and the damn thing made a VERY notable difference in the report of the firearm. Then I got my airsoft suppressor back 
The suppressors that take a number of foam rings inside is the most "dangerous" in the sense that it can be made to be a fully functional suppressor WAY too easily. Cost was the price of the suppressor and $3 at a hardware store....
Read the laws on the matter. They state that ANYTHING that reduces the noise (they do NOT state by a certain decibal) of a firearm is prohibited. Meaning if they want to call it a suppressor in a court of a law you have a tough fight on your hands. |
Well the fact is you can argue and often should win compared against PVC pipe and duct tape.
You need to understand, attaching something will change the direction of sound. So in a sense if you record at the exit the result is not much different. I understand that you guys just want to keep stuff favoring retailers who took the risk already, but I'm just saying, If you don't fight, you will never win.
