lame assed kind as much as for the real deal, ya know. All ATF has to do in court is show the jury that the device "audibly reduces" the blast. They could make a compensator appear to be a can, simply by using "loud" ammo in the gun first, then some milder load after installing the comp, and you'd be GUILTY, the way things are now done in Fed Court. The sentencing guidelines say you have to do 3 years, if you have no "criminal history", and no other crimes to "enhance" your sentence.
