As most of you know, I'm more focused on the older stuff than the new (though I am aware that the leadership of the Army, after years of batting it away hoping to get their new maser/graser-blast rifle technology, have caved and are going to buy short-stroke piston H&K 416 uppers for the M4/16 rifles, as the pressure from all sides for a change was too great. They took the low-hanging fruit approach - which, in the midst of a war, might be the better approach. Rather than buying an all-new rifle, which would make it harder to sell Congress on getting that maser/graser-blast rifle they really want after this whole war thing slows down some.
Anyway - two things about this clip. 1. That is one honking big rifle, ala the 20mm anti-tank guns of post WWi-WWII. Yet the tech has advanced to the point that shooting one (I've shot theLahti and Solothurn 20mms) isn't a virtual guaranteed broken shoulder and, 2: that silencer is simply amazing, given what I know 20mm ammo to sound like.

No, don't expect one of these to show up at the Castle anytime soon.

But it *is* quiet with the $3400 suppressor...

Here in Kansas, the vehicle registration people are concerned about people who own armored cars (like White M2 scout cars, Ferrets, M3 Halftracks, etc) and are refusing to license them, citing concerns about possible use by terrorists.
