I did enjoy the Hatfields and McCoy thing on History!  Lots of period firearms used!

Someone has already jumped on the saddle inaccuracies however.  I guess I wasn't looking at it for facts and a history lesson.  But, I did notice and appreciate the heavy use of the '66 and cap and ball revolvers.  Nothing like the solid sound of a '66 being levered to sooth my souls  ;)

Not much of an observer in that respect.  Just enjoyed it for the little history I know of the legends.

Regardless of how it all works,

The producers that work for the whole group of stations (Discovery, History, Science, Military, etc.) have once again proven they are idiots  >:(

Yes, I agree.
I tend to nit-pick....and I find myself getting irate at times when channels such as these, who should pride themselves on accuracy, get things so wrong.

I agree, I just finished the History Channel series on the American Revolution. Two glaring omissions came to mind as I watched. Number one was the technological advantage that we had over the British with our rifled barrels compared to their smooth bore muskets. The second was the complete ommission of the Swamp Rat Francis Marion. These two details I believe were deciding factors in the war.

Just like the Lonesome Dove series, the producers of Hatfields and MacCoys did a great job of casting, and the actors pulled it off.

I think Costner was a producer if I recall from the credits.

I was used as a reference for a buddy to get his tax stamp for a suppressor. When the lady called to ask me the questions she asked if I knew what it was for. I said probably a suppressor. She got all snotty with me and said "no, it's for a silencer."  I started to correct her but she was still being snotty so I ended up letting it drop. 

Not even the people that should have a clue, have a clue.

All this hot air about bullets falling faster or slower hasn't got squat to do with suppressed or unsuppressed.
I'm amazed that all you "gun guys" posted 2 pages in this thread. (well, OK most of one was actually on topic  ;D  )
and not one of you mentioned PRESSURE.
In integrally suppressed barrels gas is bled off through holes in the barrel into the surrounding suppressor body and, by decreasing pressure will in fact keep the bullets velocity below the speed of sound.
You need special ammo to do it with a simple can on the end of a regular barrel.
Slower bullets hit lower, not higher, than the same bullet going at a faster rate.
Bullets don't all drop at the same rate. Bullet drop is a result of bullet velocity and the area of the bullet exposed to gravity.
At an upward or downward angle gravity has less effect on the bullet, there fore it drops less and unless compensated for you will always hit high when shooting up or down hill.

Apples and oranges Tom!

We are talking about suppressors attached at the muzzle.  This does not change the barrel dynamics in any way.

That doesn't change the accuracy of what I posted.
AND, it got YOUR thread back on topic .
 For now   ;D

By the way, proper nomenclature may be important, but "silencer" is a heck of a lot easier to spell.
Considering Maxim's specialty they should properly be called "mufflers" any way.
