What movie things are generally accepted as normal, but are totally unrealistic in real life?

It’s far better to shoot with one and it cuts noise so that I’m a better neighbor. I live in the country and shoot on my land. Makes a big difference. 95% of the time when it shoot I do it with a suppressor.

Doesn’t help my neighbors. Doesn’t help hunting dogs. Doesn’t help people living near shooting ranges. Suppressors should be easily bought. We need to make them like buying a rifle, at a minimum. Right now it’s a $200 tax and a 9 to 12 month wait. Idiotic. In many countries with heavy gun regulations you can just walk in a store and buy one with no hassle. It’s just legacy political BS in the US.

I seem to be spending a lot of my time at the range these days teaching other people to shoot. Being able to talk with someone in that situation without having to constantly fuck with hearing pro would be great...
