MkVI Sten Gun Silencer Length

[Vincent]

“It will not reduce any noise its a replica.”

I would bet it does reduce the noise a little.

Here it would be classified as a real suppressor.

[Peter Laidler]

There is a formula for the length of the silencer in relation to its diameter and something else that I won't bother you with.......... But so said, you can put a pop bottle over the end of a small calibre rifle or the 6.5 and 7.65mm pistols and it will greatly reduce the noise. Real suppressor Vince? Better not tell our alice-in-wonderland-modplod police, or they'll be seizing pop bottles soon

Here in Canada, perhaps the wisest way to have a simulated suppressor is to have the barrel pass through, end to end.
A non-restricted barrel must exceed 18 1/2". A semi auto Sten with a barrel that long, and a casing over it, is a strange beast indeed. Really ungainly.

Real suppressor Vince?

You know how they classify stuff, Peter. To them a receiver (body) with no other working parts is classified as a gun. (Can you imagine someone trying to rob a bank with just a receiver?) They use the same “logic”, if you can call it that, with suppressors.





It needs a thermal sleeve.

No cans in Canada, right?

Vincent, you were right about the question that here in Canada there are no private use of cans...way back in '16 when you asked, don't know how I missed this then.
