George Clooney stars in the new suspense thriller ‘The American’ as a deadly assassin. As a deadly assassin I’m sure Clooney’s character is well versed with various weapons. So it was pretty shocking to see his character using a Ruger Mini-14 as a sniper rifle. To be fair, it could be one of the newer series of “accurized” Ruger Mini-14 rifles. Clooney’s Mini-14 also appears to have a collapsible stock, side-mounted scope and a really big silencer. There’s no doubt the Ruger Mini-14 is a cool looking, and very reliable, rifle. But the sniper rifle of choice for an assassin? That’s a stretch.

Always wanted a suppressor for your pistol but don’t want to spend too much cash? Well you can make one out of an oil filter. For $55 you can buy an adapter, which needs to be registered with the ATF, and make your own suppressor. The automotive oil filter works as a removable expansion chamber. This seems like a cool toy for the novelty factor, but I doubt you’ll see the SEALs using this anytime soon.

You can get the adapter for the suppressor HERE.

Are you an international assassin, modern day ninja, or just a tacticool fanboy? If so then this snap-on suppressor is definitely for you! The snap-on 7-2878 & 7B-2878 suppressor for the Beretta 92 from Knights Armament has some very interesting features, it is available at autoweapons.com but no price is listed so you’ll have to shoot them an email for pricing info.

The Knights Armament suppressor features a snap-on design, as opposed to a screw-on style, making it much easier to mount the suppressor and take out your target. The suppressor also has built-in front sights, which is a nice touch as the Beretta 92’s front sights are usually blocked when adding a suppressor. The ad on autoweapons.com for the Beretta 92 and silencer combo also features a custom slide lock to stop the slide from cycling and ejecting a shell casing. Perfect for covering an assassins trail.
