    Why are suppressors weights such a major topic. They aren't much in the total weight package are they? Then there is the fact that I'd probably loose the equivalent of five or ten suppressors worth of weight if I dieted for a month

    I was thinking if a suppressor is too heavy to carry, how will they get their animal home.....Our ears and our eyes are precious. The damage cannot be undone. Look after them when you have them and you may get to keep them....

    Here's the thing with weight ...
    It adds up.

    "It's not much in the over all package" can be said for almost all of the parts of your gun.

    Anyone who has tried to make a light set up will understand the way weight can get away from you.

    Also the suppressor hangs on the end of the barrel any weight is multiplied because of the leverage it has on you.
