Description: Thanks to Hollywood, there are very few people who aren’t at least passingly familiar with silencers and their use. Unfortunately, the silver screen has shown them more misinformation than actual fact. 

First and foremost, there is no such thing as a “silencer”, to be technically specific. Correct terminology is “sound moderator” or “sound sup- pressor”. However, from this point on we will bow to popular usage and refer to said devices as silencers.
