Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a silencer and a suppressor?

While often used interchangeably, 'suppressor' is the technically accurate term for the device that reduces the sound and muzzle flash of a firearm. 'Silencer' is a colloquial term that implies complete sound elimination, which is not achievable.

What firearms were shown with suppressors in the video?

The video featured a Glock 19X handgun with a Coyote Tan (FDE) finish, chambered in 9mm, and a Diamondback DB-15 rifle, an AR-15 style platform chambered in 5.56 NATO / .223 Rem, both equipped with suppressors.

Are suppressors legal to own?

Yes, suppressors are legal to own in most US states, but they are regulated under the National Firearms Act (NFA). Ownership requires a federal tax stamp, background check, and registration with the ATF.

What are the benefits of using a firearm suppressor?

The primary benefit of a suppressor is a significant reduction in the firearm's noise level, making shooting more comfortable and potentially reducing the risk of hearing damage. They also reduce muzzle flash.
