The same possible use that your dad has for his shotgun moderator, I'd suspect... Saving his hearing, not bothering the neighbors, etc. I'm quite amused by the fact that you tout your dad having one, yet immediately insinuate that their only practical use is for assassins... I wonder what line of work the gentleman might be involved in?


As to the subject of the article, SOTs have been using SLA printed silencers to test baffle designs for a very long time - this FDM printed version is nothing new, given that printed airgun silencers have been on Thingiverse for years. However, the concept of a 'disposable' suppressor that doesn't require cleaning is pretty strange for the US - given that each suppressor requires payment of a $200 transfer/making tax, I don't expect anyone in the states to be buying/making 3D printed polymer suppressors.
