pretty awesome, it didn't make the little movie silencer sound though....

Just watched the episode... I do not agree 100% with the "plausible" conclusion, now if they were to use suppressed .22s then I could see it.
I have a feeling judging by Adam's s**t eating grin that he will be trying to acquiring one for his own use...had that "first time" look on his face that most of us have had when shooting our first Class 3 item...

I thought they did a good job describing what a silencer is for and owning one isn't a sign you are a criminal.

They did an episode on silencers?
Can someone tell me what was that episode about?
I saw an interview of Adam Savage saying that one of the myths they would never test in the show is about silencers and what are the best ways to make "silence" a weapon like with pillows and such because it could be used by criminals.

The episode was about movie sound effect myths...it was the last new episode they ran last week. I think the title was "Blow your own sail".

They were not just testing if they sounded alike to the naked ear, but if the sound signatures matched. From what I saw they based the plausible on the match of the sound signatures.
