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.
"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
did u know that they make silenced AMMO?

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

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.
"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
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.
