Advanced Silencer and Suppressor

Posted on Apr 24, 2012 in 800HighTech, Featured Articles, Military News

A suppressor, sound suppressor, sound moderator, or silencer, is a device attached to or part of the barrel of a firearm which reduces the amount of noise and usually also the amount of muzzle flash generated by firing the weapon. Suppressors can be used both with gunpowder-based weapons and with compressed air weapons.

Researchers, innovators, and developers have been tinkering and constantly improving the silencer. Although it has made famous debuts in various spy movies, it is available to gun enthusiasts. Silencers are legal and offer more than just spies benefits:

Benefits of Suppressors

Hunters using center-fire rifles find suppressors bring various important benefits that outweigh the extra weight and resulting change in the firearm’s center of gravity.

The most important advantage of a suppressor is the hearing protection for the shooter as well as his/her companions.

By reducing noise, recoil and muzzle-blast, it also enables the firer to follow through calmly on his first shot and fire a further carefully aimed shot without delay if necessary.

Suppressors reduce firing recoil significantly, primarily by diverting and trapping the propellant gas.

A suppressor also cools the hot gases coming out of the barrel enough that most of the lead-laced vapor that leaves the barrel condenses inside the suppressor, reducing the amount of lead that might be inhaled by the shooter and others around them.

The suppressor has intrigued and awed many. Including when it was first used by the U.S. Government agents of the United States Office of Strategic Services and demonstrated in an unconventional manner to the Commander in Chief:

Agents of the U.S. Office of Strategic Services preferred the High Standard HDM .22 Long Rifle pistol during World War II. The famous OSS Director William Joseph “Wild Bill” Donovan demonstrated the pistol for President Roosevelt at the White House. According to OSS research chief Stanley Lovell, Donovan was waved into the Oval Office, where Roosevelt was dictating a letter. While Roosevelt finished his message, Donovan turned his back and fired ten shots into a sandbag he had brought with him, announced what he had done and handed the smoking gun to the astonished president.

When considering suppressors it is best to go with a company that shares the same passion and perseveres to deliver better. That company is Silencerco; which was formed in 2008 with the intent to create the best silencers by thinking outside the box and by solving problems in unconventional ways. Suppressors from Silencerco offer unique technology and design that is unmatched.

Osprey Suppressor

Osprey Gun Silencer

The Osprey is an eccentric silencer with the perfect balance of form and function. This silencer differs than traditional silencers because the bore does not run down the middle of the tube. Most of the baffles and internal volume is beneath the center-line of the bore and out of the way of the gun’s sights. This allows the shooter to use their gun’s factory sights with little or no target obstruction.

Osprey pistol silencer is available for 9mm, .40 S&W, and 45ACP.

Sparrow Suppressor

Sparrow Gun Silencer

The .22 LR round is not copper jacketed. Molten lead and carbon debris will explode into the silencer when the projectile exits the muzzle which overtime will cause a .22 suppressor to fill completely with lead. The gun will be heavy and ineffective. To avoid this the .22 silencer must be dissembled for cleaning for regular maintenance which can be quite a chore – unless you have the Sparrow silencer.

The Sparrow’s Multi Part Containment (MPC) technology has made it possible for shooters to disassemble this .22 silencer easily after heavy use without the need for tools. The Sparrow is the first silencer in the world to offer the MPC technology. Shooters will enjoy the benefits of easy disassemble features for cleaning and maintenance.

Sparrow pistol silencer is available for .22.
