A silencer, also known as a sound suppressor, suppressor, or sound moderator, is a muzzle device that suppresses the blast created when a gun (firearm or airgun) is discharged, thereby reducing the acoustic intensity of the muzzle report (sound of a gunshot) and jump, by modulating the speed and pressure of the propellant gas released from the ...
Sudanese Model Armalite AR-10 with a prong-type flash suppressor. Duckbill flash suppressors have upper and lower "prongs" and direct gases to the sides.

The LVOA-C is a direct gas-impingement (DGI) operated rifle based on the Colt AR-15. It features a proprietary full-length fore-end with an integrated muzzle brake/flash suppressor, which prevents the use of a suppressor due to size constraints.
It is compatible with most standard AR-15 parts, can mount various attachments such as options on its picatinny rails and has the ability to accept all AR-15/M16 type STANAG magazines. The standard M4 Type Carbine features a permanently fixed "Izzy" flash suppressor attached to a 14.5 in (370 mm) barrel, which brings the barrel to a total ...
The AAC Honey Badger is an AR-pattern personal defense weapon, designed primarily for use in a suppressed configuration. It is chambered in .300 AAC Blackout and was originally produced by Advanced Armament Corporation (AAC). [ 2 ]
The MCX is designed to deliver optimal performance with .300 AAC Blackout and an optional suppressor. [11] The barrel's profile is tapered at the crown to enable the installation of muzzle devices and direct-thread sound suppressors without the use of washers that degrade performance and enables the devices to self-center on installation.
