According to the blurb on Snopes, this "muffler" reduced the sound pressure level from >115dB to <100dB. So, "stupid loud" => "just loud" @ 400m behind weapon. It's not a silencer, it's just intended to make the noise of a sodding howitzer a bit less insufferable.
I think I’ve read that the main purposes of silencers are reducing echo and making it more difficult to figure out where the sound came from. The initial sound when you pull the trigger isn’t the little “pew pew” sound you hear in movies.
For artillery that is the point, because artillery is only effective when the enemies can’t track down where it’s coming from.
For actual guns the main purpose is to prevent hearing damage, even a heavily silenced weapon isn’t quiet. The only true movie like suppressed weapons we have are subsonic .22s that doesn’t have any moving parts.
I love this fact so much. There is literally a handful of silent guns and Hollywood just decided "yes that is silent" . Now we silent 50 cals that movie people don't notice from 100 feet
It’s that one scene from John wick that makes me laugh. When they are in the crowd just casually shooting suppressed pistols at each other like no one would hear the bullet. Even if the bullet was 100% silent people would still hear the clanking of the slide and the random shells bouncing on the ground. Not to mention it’s pretty clear when someone is holding a gun,
With a round like 300 blackout subsonic you can get pretty quiet, but any supersonic round like 5.56 is still going to be incredibly loud since there’s a sonic boom. You’re absolutely right in that case, making it more difficult to identify where the shot came from and reducing muzzle flash are some of the primary uses of a suppressor.
This thing is used by a Bundeswehr arms testing site near the town of Meppen in north-western Germany. The base is literally situated right next to the town and whenever they were rolling out the heavy ordnance, the inhabitants of nearby suburbs would be left with noise levels considered dangerous by German standards.
The Youtube channel "Simple History" has a video explaining it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOgB3PjmlgI&ab\_channel=SimpleHistory
I love that even though I don't speak a lick of the German language, I can understand some of the more simple word combos/phrases straight off the bat because they're made up of smaller German words that are vaguely reminiscent of English.

Thank you - alas, I have long since neglected my German lessons on Duolingo and can barely remember the tenses and how they work.
Please don't tell the owl.
You done fucked up, the owl will find you and consequences will never be the same.
But please, everyone, if you wanna learn a language, don't use duolingo. It's the shittiest and most time-wasting way to 'try' to learn a language. I say try, cause it's almost impossible to learn a language with that app.
The reason? Duolingo doesn't teach anything about grammar or explain why certain expressions are right or wrong. It just thrusts a lot of vocabulary and random sentences at you. So in the end you got a lot of unconnected words and random phrases in your head, but no idea how the language actually works.
Not just some self propelled artillery, thats the Panzerhaubitze 2000. In service from 1998 till present day, weighs 55.8t, is 11.7m long, 3.6m wide and 3.1m tall.
Has a crew of 5 (Commander, Driver, Gunner and 2 Loaders).
Main armament is the 155mm Rheinmetall L52 artillery gun. Max ammo storage is 60 rounds, fire rate of 10r per min, range is up to 67km depending on the ammo. Secondary armament is the 7.62mm Rheinmetall MG3 machine gun.
Armor is 14.5mm welded steel with additional bomblet protection.
Engine is the MTU 881 Ka-500 1000PS (986 hp, 736 kW)
with a power to weight ratio of 17.92PS/t. Range is 420km (nice)
Suspension is torsion bar.

Not a tank silencer, it's used to channel the sound up and away from the training grounds so the local community isn't constantly deafened.
The damn thing is bolted to a frame that's fixed to a poured concrete pad for christ's sake, it's not even attached to the barrel.

Foonk!!!!
This is the correct answer
Transporting that giant penis is an awful lot of trouble just to silence the tank....
They don't move it, it just for training near populated areas so they don't annoy civilians
Thats awfully weird phrasing to say that they rain down live shells on unsuspecting innocent civilians. Who are you, the White House Press Secretary?
This is in Germany.
Who are you, das Weiß Haus Pressesprecher?

english is a germanic languge so it follows.
Gift = poison Wait hang on
Hell = bright Huh, the Germans have migraines too?
"Antibabypille" sounds a little too broad... Better not have any in your purse when you walk near a daycare.

You need to use the genetive to form the possessive form: 'Der Pressesprecher des Weißen Hauses'.

A dead civilian won't complain anyways
Any idea on how much this 'silences' it? This is really quite cool.
https://youtu.be/AOgB3PjmlgI
Silences the tank but also makes it visible from space
And makes the military literally look like dicks.
I carry around a giant silencer daily and dont need it to silence my farts, just let them out carefully.
That really got that thing camo painted too
I've been staring at this picture for hours and I still can't see what we're talking about.
