NO NOIsELEss SHOOTIN
"Sjlcnccr" Can't BE Used on Re-
yOIvcr, Saws Inventor.

NOINcr. says Inventor.
The recent act of the insane youth
at Albany, whereby an old man was
shot and killed by means of a modi-
fled 22-caliber Stevens Arms company
target pistol. fitted with a Maxim si-
lencer, leads me to present some facts
about so-called "noiseless shooting
which are unknown to the majority
Of the public.
This murder in Albany is the first
one which l believe was actually COM
mitted with firearm on which was
used a Maxim silencer. There have
been several shootings in the past
where II was thought that Maxim ST.
lencer was used. but all Of those were
either doubtful or absolutely dis
proved so far as the silencer was
| concerned
The nearest approach to the actual
| use in a killing was the case OF an
| other insane man who killed his wife,
his two daughters and himself. He
| was the owner Of 44-caliber VIM
chester rifle. fitted with a Maxim ST.
lencer, which at close range would
| have left very conspicuous marks on
the victims. There were no marks on
the bodies nor in the rooms as far as
I could find out, which throws grave
doubts upon the use of the rifle with
| the silencer.
The reason why more murders are
not committed with firearms to which
silencers have been fitted Is because
the silencer will not silence revolver
\ nor an automatic pistol In order to
accomplish quiet shooting we must
limit ourselves to solid breech weap-
ons and low velocity bullets. This ex-
plains why both the Albany youth
and the New York man were crazy.
No sane person who understands the
use Of firearms and the limitations OF
q firearm silencer would have at
tempted a murder with a silencer to
cover up the noise.
The limitations OF the silencer are
not at all understood by the ordinary
public nor the ordinary newspaper
writer anxious to build a good story.
A silencer Is simple gas check de-
vice placed at the muzzle Of fire
arm for the purpose of checking the
] instantaneous liberation Of powder
