. Ohh, so if I am questioning things a little that are curious to me (undoubtedly sacred to you upon the positions that you hold on the topic), then I am a liberal eh ?? Is this how it's gonna be with you people as well ?? Hypocrite much ??. Fat barrel... Must be for shock resistance and such.. Nice work... Now looking at the same pictures you are looking at, is that not a suppressor on the end of that barrel or is that barrel just that thick ?? Would a suppressor have female threads or male threads ?? The Remington 700 it said that the silencer was an add/modification didn't it ?? Otherwise where as the barrel was threaded or modified to accept the silencer ?? So would the barrel be threaded on the outside, and the suppressor threaded on the inside ?? Not sure how the modification is accomplished in the set up.This is the Bushmaster they used. Note the absence of any threads for a manufactured suppressor. It didn't even have a "flash suppressor." And there are no signs (or claims) that a home made silencer was used.

Here is an actual image of their car and trunk and how it was modified. The image includes an officer demonstrating the shooting position. Taken from:

Note the end of the barrel is sticking OUT of the trunk.
How long is the suppressor in standard length ?? The cop is demonstrating the stance in the trunk, but the young Malvo was the one shooting from the trunk because of his smaller size, so not sure by the demonstration if it tells us exactly how they did this or not. The trunk is open in the demonstration, but in order to conseal the shooter and weapon when firing, the trunk was shut, and then I wonder how the boy was aquirring his target to actually shoot with just a hole big enough for the barrel to stick out of. Hmmm. How would the vehicle get close enough in a parking lot to shoot people with no suppressor at all, and the full sound of the gun being exposed in the shoot without revealing the position of these shooters instantly ??
They were baffling the authorities with their learned strategy in which made people to panic in these regions. Many questions not answered yet. Anyway, let's add the suppressor into the situation hypothetically then, now would it have enhanced their abilities to get away with their killing more stealth like or lesson their ability to get away with what they pulled off ?? The only reason I'm adding it to the event, is because the Remington 700 had one on it, but it was missing when found. How much more efficient would they have been if had kept the 700 with all it's accessories talked about ?? Wasn't the back seat removed, and therefore the shooter would crawl into position from the back seat area, lay down, look through scope down the barrel inside trunk, otherwise with the scope atop looking and pointing out of the same whole, and while both were being concealed ?? I think this is what was reported back then, but not sure now. Seems to only way to conceal the shoot, keep the sound down, aquire the target, and make the shoot through the same hole. If to close to hole, then you would lose the ability to aquire the target through the same hole. Both shooter and weapon has to be back at least 3 to 4' from the hole, and also for the tri-pod to work if had one. Hmm..

Dude seriously.
If you are going to remain this ignorant about guns. . . . for the love of Gawd, please have the decency to change your avatar to some snowflake, a daisy, tree hugger. . . . something like that.![]()
There's just no excuse for anyone to be as ignorant about things as you are being in this thread. So yeah, liberal or not. . . you belong on that (other) side of the wall until you learn a thing or two about what you are going on about. It's not even a "sacred" thing to have some basic knowledge about guns.... but confusing a heavy barrel for a "silencer?" What a joke.
Do yourself a fucking favor and learn to look shit up before you post about it. Or don't. I really could care less.
