I somehow think that a major portion of what you are paying for is litigation and legal fee’s for a suppressor. They aren’t exactly high technology. If it wasn’t seriously illegal (AND IT IS) they aren’t that hard to make from junk around the house. So I can hardly see the cost really being what it is for what you are getting.

And come to think of it... Doesn't England have just about the opposite laws on them as you would think? I read once shotguns are encouraged to have them there... Really... It keeps the noise down so people don't complain. I swear I'm not making this up.
