Watched this video of Seattle PD involved fatal shooting the other day and was wondering where the report from the rifles was and then realized what I was looking at, think I'm looking at, are assault rifles with suppressors?

Looks like it. Rifle suppressors are actually quite popular these days.

Widespread in Canada. PM Trudeau declared them all illegal.

this happened 4 days after I joined the RAF - things were different back then

This was called flying at beret height

Note the disinterested liney (Line Technician) strolling back to the hangar

3 years later I was flying on Hunters

6 years later in Germany the Lighting aircraft used to do the same and go supersonic briefly over the crew room as a farewell flight called it dropping a boom
