| Description: | Silencers are devices used to reduce noise levels form the discharge of firearms. A silencer is no more than a series of baffles, coupled to an expansion chamber, with some kind of device allowing it to be mounted on the barrel. Note: A silencer fitted onto a gin that fires supersonic ammo will do little to quiet the overall noise. There will still be a distinctive 'crack' as the bullet punches through the sound barrier, even though the expansion of gasses from the gun will be muffled. For a silencer to be effective, it must be used with projectiles that travel at less than the speed of sound. In such cases, the noise of the discharge is greatly reduced, and may not even be recognizable as firing a gun to a bystander. The latest innovation in muzzle-mounted silencers is the so-called 'wet' silencer. These designs employ water or other liquids to absorb the temperature of the expanding gasses, therefore reducing their rate of expansion and consequent noise. |
