This video debunks the movie myth of using a pillow as a silencer. The host tests the sound of a firearm with and without a pillow, demonstrating that while a pillow might offer some minimal sound dampening, it is not an effective or safe method for suppressing firearm noise. The test highlights the difference in sound levels, showing the pillow's limited impact.
This video from Civilian Tactical explores whether a golf ball launcher, modified with tissue paper and subsonic .22 LR ammunition, can function as a firearm suppressor. The host, demonstrating high authority and technical knowledge, conducts experiments to debunk this viewer theory. The results indicate that this DIY approach offers no significant sound reduction, highlighting the importance of proper NFA-regulated suppressor design and function.
This video tests the effectiveness of using pillows as makeshift firearm silencers for 9mm and .22 caliber firearms. The experiment involves using one and two dry pillows, as well as two wet pillows, with a sound level meter to measure decibel reduction. The presenter, a former CIA officer, highlights potential issues like firearm jams and the unreliability of the sound meter, ultimately concluding that while two pillows showed some muffling, the effectiveness is questionable and not a substitute for proper suppressors. The video emphasizes firearm safety throughout the testing process.

Given the title's direct implication of DIY firearm modification, the content is expected to be highly technical and practical for individuals interested in firearm customization and cost-saving solutions for accessories.
This video details an experiment by Civilian Tactical to test the efficacy of a DIY water bottle silencer on a 9mm handgun. The host, demonstrating knowledge of NFA regulations and firearm mechanics, uses a PSA Dagger and subsonic ammunition. The experiment concludes that the water bottle fails to suppress sound and is destroyed by the muzzle blast, highlighting the complexities and potential dangers of homemade firearm modifications.
This video from Johnny Q tests the efficacy of using a common water bottle as a firearm suppressor. The test involves attaching a Kirkland water bottle to a Glock 19X and firing it. The results clearly show that the water bottle is ineffective as a suppressor and is destroyed in the process, highlighting the dangers and futility of such makeshift modifications. The presenter emphasizes proper firearm handling and acknowledges ATF regulations humorously.
This video demonstrates an experimental technique for reducing firearm noise using common household items. Johnny Q, an experienced shooter, tests the effectiveness of four pillows as a makeshift silencer for a 9mm handgun. The guide includes steps for establishing a baseline sound, testing with varying numbers of pillows, and clearing malfunctions, highlighting the importance of safe firearm handling and PPE throughout the process.
This video details an experimental attempt to use a Pringles can as a makeshift firearm suppressor. The creator, identified as Johnny Q, attaches a prepared Pringles can to a 9mm pistol with a threaded barrel and optic. The experiment shows the can failing after the second shot, highlighting the impracticality and potential dangers of such modifications. The creator demonstrates basic firearm handling and the use of safety equipment like electronic ear protection.
This guide details the modification and testing of an M3 Grease Gun with a NAPA Silver Filter as a makeshift suppressor, as demonstrated by Edwin Sarkissian. It covers attaching the filter, demonstrating full-auto fire, and testing one-handed operation. The video highlights the experimental nature of this build, emphasizing the need for NFA compliance.
This video demonstrates an experimental attempt to suppress the sound of a Glock handgun using an empty water bottle taped to the muzzle. The creator, identified as Shatterthewicked, conducts a baseline test and then a test with the water bottle, providing a visual and auditory comparison. While presented in a casual, experimental tone, the video highlights safe firearm handling practices, including the use of hearing protection.
The JK Armament 105 is a solvent trap kit designed for Form 1 suppressor builds. It features modular baffles that can be configured for various lengths and includes a specialized drill jig for user-friendly finishing. The kit is primarily constructed from hard-coat anodized aluminum, with potential for future titanium offerings. It is recommended for rimfire calibers.
This guide details the process of building and installing a 9mm suppressor using a Quiet Bore Form 1 kit. It covers assembly, attachment to handguns like the Sig Sauer P320 RX and Beretta M9A3, and considerations for subsonic ammunition and potential sight obstructions. The content emphasizes practical application through target practice with reactive targets.
