The jury were taken to the shooting range to hear the sound of the gun with and without silencer. Do we have any documentary evidence with the outcome?
I understand NGB over on Blue has considerable experience with guns and he has posted up that whether or not the silencer was attached would make very little difference in terms of sound. He also stated that more than 20 feet away (within WHF) and any sound is likely to be lost and very unlikely to have been heard outside even with windows open. Prior to actually entering WHF the nearest anyone got to it was an adjacent barn.
That is BS that 20 feet away you would not be able to hear the shots or that from in another room or outside the house you would not hear the shots. I have far more considerable experience with firearms than any clown who posts at "blue". I have fired every caliber imaginable from .50 browning to 22 rimfire.
Shots make noise for several different reasons. Unless ammunition is subsonic it produces a sonic boom. Anything at or over roughly 1100FPS will result in a sonic boom but because of temperature variations and other variations you can still have a sonic boom at over 1050FPS it depends on a variety of factors.
The other main source of noise are the gasses etc that are expelled (primarily out of the barrel). Just using subsonic ammo is not enough to significantly reduce the report of a weapon. You need to use a suppressor to handle the gases and subsonic ammo to handle the sonic boom.
When someone says there is no marked difference between firing with or without a suppressor that is a dead giveaway they are either intentionally lying or never fired a weapon using subsonic rounds with and without a suppressor. Using ordinary rounds there is little difference between a supressed and nonsupressed weapon. Using subsonic rounds (that actually work) with a suppressor and without have a siginficant difference in report.
If there is a lot of noise then people outside a house might miss a gun going off in the house. They could think it is just a drinking glass breaking or something like that. Cops specifically outside because they think there might be someone inside with a gun are going to hear a shot form an unsupressed weapon and are going to hear it especially if in the house.
You just stepped in it because you are touching upon why Jeremy's own claims are not credible. Testimony of others was that this gun was stored in the closet with the suppressor on it and that is was always used with the suppressor. This is especially the case for shooting rabbits. Rabbits are small targets so that alone makes it a challenge to shoot them. But worse they have great reaction time. They react when they hear a shot fired and that reaction is enough to miss. They don't have to move too far for the round to miss. That is the main reason why suppressors are used when shooting rabbits. The benefit of slightly reduced recoil, less damage to the shooters ears, less disturbance to third parties are all nice but the main reason for using the suppressor is so rabbits will not have time to react.
Jeremy first stated he had not used the weapon the week prior to the murders. To try to contradict his cousin's statement about the gun being stored with the suppressor and scope attached he later changed to claiming he had used it at various times throughout the week and claimed he had used it both with and without the suppressor and scope.
Why would he remove the suppressor and scope to shoot bunnies or even for target shooting? It makes no sense. He claimed it was necessary to remove them to put the gun in its case but the gun was not usually stored in its case. It was a hassle to have to take the gun from its case and then attach and zero the scope and attach the suppressor. It was easier to just store the weapon as is in the closet like was done with so many other rifles. That is what they typically did according to everyone who used these rifles- except Jeremy only he had a different story and his story makes no sense. They frequently used guns to shoot pests. They needed to grab them and use them right away to get the pests they didn't have time to zero weapons first. Given the frequency of use it made absolutely no sense to take the weapon apart to put in a case. That is what you do when you want to store it for a long period of time without use.
Jeremy says he used it with and without the accessories. He says that sometimes he was too lazy to reattach the accessories and just would use it as is without the accessories. That makes no sense if you are lazy you don't take the accessories off you leave them there and store the gun with them attached which is what they usually did. You would definitely want the accessories attached in order to shoot rabbits. It takes a minute to screw a suppressor on anyway so even if too lazy to attach the scope because of all the effort involved there is little effort to attach a suppressor. To shoot a rabbit you definitely want the suppressor. There was another gun in the closet that had a suppressor attached already why wouldn't he grab that weapon if he actually intended to shoot rabbits as claimed?
Naturally the answer to this quesiton on the "blue" forum is to make up the lie that the suppressor didn't really do anything. That lie is to try to make Jeremy's claims credible and seem like they make sense. But if that were the case no one would bother to buy a suppressor at all. The reason why people buy suppressors is because they do make an appreciable difference when used in combo with subsonic ammunition. It makes a difference on he shooter's ears and on the target hearing the shot coming.
In keeping with your nature you always do everything backwards you don't care about logic or evidence.
The burden is on you to establish that Sheila died significantly later than the other victims. Vanezis found no evidence that she died hours after the others. You need that kind of evidence to suggest your claim is even plausible. You don't have such evidence. You are not following the available evidence you are just making things up.
You have an agenda and in support of that agenda you ignore reality and make things up. In turn this means you have no credibility. WHy do you care so little about having credibility that you continue to ignore reality and make things up?
His claim he was going to go shoot rabbits without the scope and suppressor is downright stupid.
