Any prepper must have thought about adding firearms to their survival kit in case SHTF. However, many don’t consider the repercussions of using guns in dangerous situations. Most would probably imagine just firing away at any threat that crosses their paths. Unfortunately, SHTF situations aren’t as easy as that.
There is no doubt that guns are loud; very loud. The crack of gunfire can bring about many terrible things. For one, any loud blast will scare away any and all wild game in the immediate area, which would make hunting difficult. Gunfire can also cause short-or even long-term damage to your hearing. This could hinder you in a dangerous situation. Not to mention all the attention you would be getting from firing a gun. Anyone within the vicinity will know where you are and that you have a gun. This is the kind of attention you don’t want to attract when you’re trying to escape danger.
One solution is to eliminate, or at least muffle, the noise of a shot. In any dangerous situation, staying quiet can mean the difference between life and death. (h/t to SurvivalSullivan.com)
One of the best ways to remove the sound of gunfire is through the use of a suppressor. Investing in one will give any prepper a tactical benefit in any survival situation. (Obey all constitutional laws when acquiring or deploying suppressors.)
When a gun fires a shot, supersonic hot gasses are generated and exit the muzzle. If left unmoderated, this blast will be responsible for a sharp pressure increase that can cause an ear-splitting boom. A suppressor traps the gasses and slows down their escape, drastically reducing the sound of a gunshot.
Staying hidden can be an important advantage for preppers. Having a quieter gun will bring much less attention to you, allowing you to escape dangers before they even acknowledge your presence. (Related: Prepper essentials: A guide to camouflaging your property.)
Here are three guns that could help you stay as quiet as a mouse in any survival situation:
Stealth is an important factor if you want to get out of a dangerous situation alive. Take the time to add suppressors to your firearms to significantly increase your chances for survival. (Obey all constitutional laws when doing so, of course.)
