In the US, EACH rd is legally a "silencer" requiring a $200 tax, for each one. originally,the US army developed these, for use in a 2" barreled M29 .44 mag revolver, for use in the V C tunnels in nam. Now the russians make such a load, in a compact auto pistol, using the same bullet that is loaded into the .30 AK rifle cartridge, but in a much shorter cartridge case, in a gun that looks a lot like a Makarov, at a mere 570 fps, for about 90 ft lbs of "power", which is a bit more than a .22 lr gets out of a 4" barreled pistol. Silenced .22's were used by the OSS in WWII, you know.. they were huge things, not all that quiet, either. 12" or so long, 44 ozs, or something like that.
"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
did u know that they make silenced AMMO?

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Try getting the PPK from "The World is Not Enough" or "Die Another Day". That's as silent as you can get.goundra said:
I make the state of the art "cans" and if you "think" that any autopistol that cycles normally, with normal ammo, is as quiet as it can be, you are VERY ignorant about cans. there is quite a bit of noise that comes out of the ejection port, when the autoloader kicks out the fired casing.

Have you seen that episode on Pawnstars. Where the guy recreates a flamethrower from WW2 and tries to pass it off as an original. Incredible the nerve these days.
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
