First of all I believe your "20-50 bucks" is a high estimate in materials. Sure it may cost me that much, but then I don't buy in bulk. As far as employee benefits, just how long and how many people do you really think it takes to make one? I am very sure that it can be made and sold for well under the tax stamp it takes now to legally own it, we aren't talking an actual firearm as far as precision goes.
There ya go, stirring up trouble, like always...
Heh
He can be a devious troublemaker.

You now those oil filter adapters? Yeah, you don't need to spend a lot to make a suppressor if you're smart about how you do it. If suppressors are deregulated, I see no reason why you wouldn't be able to buy or have an adapter made for under $50, and just use an old (free) oil filter.
I'm sure there's plenty of other ways to do it as well. Ways that might not have been looked into due to the hefty prison sentence that would have gone along with doing it.

It's permanently attached. It has to be or else the ATF would complain the can could be use on a centerfire rifle.
...Ah yes, right to the heart of the matter.
It claims to reduce smoke by 2/3. To me it sounds like that's going to get the can dirty pretty quick.
I've seen those threaded cleaning oil/patch catchers before. Don't have any actual experience with them. How much do they actually muffle things? On par with a real suppressor?

I've heard they work ok for a while. The oil filters work best when they're "wet", but need to be periodically replaced. Their biggest drawback is their size. You need some pretty tall sights to be able to see over the filter. As they are now, I don't consider them worth it. If they were JUST $50 (no tax stamp), then I'd probably get one to fool around with.
For that matter, a pop bottle and tape works for at least one shot. There are many quick diy suppressors, but of course I would never do that ..... never!
My story and I'm sticking to it.

I've heard of someone (an actual criminal) using tennis balls. A pillow would also work, but that's a waste of a pillow.
I've gone through more pillows than holsters trying to find a good one. (I remember being younger and never even noticing if I had a pillow).
Don't know why I never thought of it, but I now know what I'm going to do with my next old pillow.
I'm not a criminal, but I have, I mean I know of others that have used a variety of things, even using different fruits and vegetables.
The things youths with nothing better to do in a town (Vegas) that was geared more towards adults, can come up with.

Next time, stuff as large a piece of foam rubber as you can into the bottle. I've heard (from some guy on the internet) that it'll work of a few more rounds.
I guess it was just a matter of time for this to come. Silencers, suppressors, moderators, mufflers of whatever have been used on air rifles for a long time. They aren't firearms and neither are black powder muzzle loaders. The real question is what has taken so long?
Fear of a government agency.
