Hi this is my first post. Mostly I have browsed around on here and have been able to find answers to my questions through search.
Anyway, I'd like to have a suppressor in order to help save my hearing, but I don't want to have to pay the ridiculous tax to get one.
I thought about making my own, but through browsing on here, I've learned that it's illegal. I've also learned that when people talk about doing illegal things like that on here, their threats get locked. I'm not talking about making suppressors - this post is not about doing anything illegal or about talking about doing anything illegal. I'm asking this post to find out about a possible legal alternative.
So I was searching on the internet and found this page where they were talking about putting a tube in front of the muzzle for the gas to expand and to direct the sound/flash forward, and how this would help decrease the sound from behind the gun.
They say that this will work and that because you wouldnt have baffles, it's not a suppressor:
Has anybody tried to make something like this or use something like this? If so, how did it work? If you no longer do this, why not? Also, if anybody is aware of the legal definitions of what is a suppressor and what isn't, please share. I imagine that this might not be seen as a suppressor, but more like a sound director.
Also, I was looking online and saw that one company that manufactures suppressors also sells "fake suppressors". It looks to me like they are selling the suppressor casing without the internal baffles. Perhaps this might kind of work like an expansion chamber and lessen the sound, or at least direct it away from me? Surely if these people can sell something like this, it must be legal. Has anybody tried one of these out.
Thanks

From a technical standpoint; if a muzzle device has baffles or any other sealed chambers or constrictions in front of the muzzle, it's a suppressor; if it has no sealed constriction in front of the muzzle, it’s an expansion chamber.
