    I see we’re still sharing this guide of misinformation.

    You can aim at two targets. Phone tracing does not take an hour. You can shoot and disable most locks including the one pictured with most calibers that aren’t a .22. Grenade pins can be pulled with teeth depending on grenade and whether you’re applying tension to the spoon. Gunshot noise is affected by a suppressor, but bullet noise is based on speed, weight, and shape.

      • You can report people before 24h have passed but the cops may still want you to wait. They do this because they’re lazy/don’t want to waste time dealing with paranoid folk.
      • A gun can be completely silenced when built to do so. Generally using subsonic ammunition and not semi-auto.

        Yeah, just pointing out that a suppressor doesn’t affect the bullet sound. If it’s supersonic, it will still crack.

        The can just gives the explosion (gunshot) time to expand and slow down. I am intimately familiar with this concept and have a nearly silent build myself.

        Edit: sidenote, if you want to shave off a few more decibels from the noise of the shot, add a small amount of material to ablate inside the suppressor. A VERY small amount of water will do in a pinch but petroleum gels are better. I personally recommend a cleaner gel like medical ultrasound gel, very clean and very effective.

      To be fair they said “aiming two guns at once is hardly possible”. Means it is with enough practice? Lol. I hate this guide, full of half-truths and misinfo, not to mention completely withholding explanations.

        And they used a picture of Neo. Might as well show a picture of Luke Skywalker and bust the “movie myth” that you can use the force to lift objects
