    That could happen with any gun loud enough, could even be a bolt action.

    Suppressors are basic safety equipment, though, just ask France. Hell in some places in europe they’re required to hunt to cut down on noise polution.

    Since we have the NFA here which likes to pretend they’re only tools for super murder assassins like Golgo 13 because they’re so quiet they absorb sound like a black hole absorbs light (/s), we have active/passive ear protection instead.

    I’d recommend the use of this basic safety equipment while doing anything loud, especially firing guns, unless unable due to it being a surprise self defense situation during which it becomes an acceptable risk.
