Description: Firearm sound moderators and suppressors, commoaly known as “silencers” ¢0 most people, have a certain mystique about them that can’t be described, only felt. To the person who has a rabid hatred of guns, the silencer’s mystique is similar to that of a coiled viper: fascinating in a deadly, evil sort of way. To the average shooter who knows what they are but has never used one, they conjure up visions of a foggy night on the waterfront in Istanbul, with a Soviet spy meeting his end as a CIA agent's silenced pistol meets out whispering death. To a person who is mechanically inclined but who may or may not be a shooter, silencers are fascinating from the standpoint of design and con- struction and how and why they do or don’t work.
