"SUPPRESSOR" or "SILENCER"
This video from GUNBROS clarifies the terminology surrounding firearm sound-moderating devices, addressing the common debate between 'suppressor' and 'silencer.' The host explains that while 'silencer' is the original patent term and the one legally used by the ATF, 'suppressor' is also widely accepted due to the device not completely silencing a gunshot. The video emphasizes that both terms are functionally correct and users should not be overly concerned with the specific word choice.
