Description: Ever wondered why movie suppressors make guns whisper-quiet while real ones just "take the edge off"? Eric and Matt dive deep into the misleading world of Hollywood gun myths and media distortions that shape public perception of firearms.

The duo tackles how suppressors became demonized despite being considered basic hearing protection in Europe, where shooting without one is considered rude. They expose how news outlets deliberately mislabel hunting rifles as "sniper rifles" and show footage of shotgun damage while claiming it represents AR-15 capabilities — all tactics designed to shift public opinion against certain firearms.

Along the way, they challenge the popular belief that revolvers never fail (they do, and catastrophically), explain what really happens when ammunition catches fire (hint: it’s not the bullet that becomes the projectile), and discuss how improper maintenance leads to undeserved reputations for certain firearms being unreliable.

With the SHORT Act potentially removing suppressors and short-barreled rifles from NFA restrictions, the hosts explain why this legislation matters and how it could normalize items that have been unfairly vilified. Whether you’re a seasoned gun owner or simply interested in separating fact from fiction, this episode cuts through the noise with firsthand knowledge and practical insights.
