A home invasion robbery in NOLA, one suspect described as "armed with a black and green pistol with a silencer."

I don't hear of many criminals running around with their decked out custom "Zombie gun".

Probably a 22 with a fake can. Or an airsoft gun.

^^^ I agree a walther, sig or another .22 along those lines with a dummy can.
Who breaks in a random house and demands drugs? Either mistaken address or the victim was out of dope.

I would have to agree with the gsg1911. Early models came in black slide with a green frame. And there's a fake can available from the factory

Unless maybe it was a stolen firearm.
Hope they catch them

Could be one of those youtube "solvent traps". Honestly, I thought about this for about a second.

My guesses, based on likelihood of each:
1: Airsoft/Pellet Gun
2: .22lr pistol with fake can

I highly doubt it's a stolen firearm/suppressor. It would be easier to identify if it was. Out of all the stolen firearms, they would just need to find out which had a threaded barrel and if any suppressors were stolen. Anyone who owns a suppressor should be smart enough to immediately report it being stolen.

I also think it's highly unlikely that some criminal thug, who is demanding drugs, has a firearm threaded with a "solvent trap."

Yeah you are probably right that would requre ingenuity. Not common with gutter trash. I was just hoping it would eventually come apart in his hand.
