text: Silencers are more properly called sound moderators or suppressors (since nothing "silences" a weapon completely) and are widely used to reduce noise levels from the discharge of firearms.
text: A silencer, also known as a sound suppressor, suppressor or sound moderator, is a muzzle device that reduces the acoustic intensity of the muzzle report (sound of gunfire) and eliminates muzzle flash when a gun (firearm or air gun) is discharged, by modulating the speed and pressure of the gas ejection from the muzzle and hence suppressing the muzzle blast.
