Some of the most advanced suppressors will likewise try to get rid of some of the sonic crack by either moving the stage of the sound, to get it out of human range, or reflecting it back onto itself, to try to cancel it out (frequency moving and phase cancellation). The former approach is attained by expansion of the cavity the air is being hurried through, usually by simply making the chamber size larger than the barrel's diameter and by producing turbulence as the air hurries through the suppressor. The latter approach is accomplished by trying to trap or direct the noise through specially designed baffles or chambers, similar to a vehicle muffler, the sound is then ultimately transformed to heat in these chambers. How Do Gun Silencers Work?įirearm suppressors work mainly by slowing the release of the propellant gases, resulting from shooting a bullet, and transforming some of the noise energy to heat. The average suppression level, according to independent tests done on a variety of commercially available suppressors, is around 30 dB, which is around the same reduction level of typical ear protection gear often used when firing guns. Modern day silencers typically can reduce the noise about 14.3-43 decibels, depending on a variety of factors, such as whether it’s a subsonic bullet or not length of the barrel/silencer etc. When Hiram Percy Maxim invented the suppressor, he referred to it as the 'Maxim Silencer' in his patent and marketing materials. The simple answer is both words can be used interchangeably - meaning the terms Silencer and Suppressor refer to the exact same thing. Nothing completely silences a gun, so technically silencer is an incorrect term, but it is used by the majority of the public. A suppressor does reduce some of the sound though. Some say a silencer is for reducing the sound, while a suppressor is more for eliminating muzzle flash. What Is The Difference Between Silencers And Suppressors? This article will explain the differences between the two NFA items and how you can get one of your own.
