He received his patent on March 30, 1909. Īmerican inventor Hiram Percy Maxim, son of Maxim gun inventor Hiram Stevens Maxim, and co-founder of the American Radio Relay League, is usually credited with inventing and selling the first commercially successful silencer around 1902. In 1892 a Swiss inventor called Jakob Stahel patented a silencer intended for killing cattle though he claimed it could be adapted to other firearms too. A flash hider, or muzzle shroud, on the other hand, conceals visible flashes by screening them from the direct line of sight, rather than reducing the intensity of the flash. This is different from a flash suppressor, which reduces the amount of flash by dispersing burning gases that are already released outside the muzzle, without necessarily reducing sound or recoil. The weight of the silencer itself and the leverage of its mounting location (at the far front end of the barrel) will also help counter muzzle rise.īecause the internal baffles will slow and cool the released gas and contain gunpowder that is still burning upon exit from the muzzle, silencers also reduce or even eliminate the muzzle flash. However, the internal baffles significantly prolong the time of the gas release and therefore decrease the rearward thrust generated - as for the same impulse, force is inversely proportional to time. Silencers can also reduce the recoil during shooting, but unlike a muzzle brake or a recoil compensator, which reduce recoil by vectoring the muzzle blast sideways, silencers release almost all the gases towards the front. This slows down the gas and dissipates its kinetic energy into a larger surface area, reducing the blast intensity, thus lowering the loudness. During firing, the bullet flies through the bore with little hindrance, but most of the expanding gas ejecta behind it is redirected through a longer and convoluted escape path created by the baffles, prolonging the release time. Like other muzzle devices, a silencer can be a detachable accessory mounted to the muzzle, or an integral part of the barrel.Ī typical silencer is a metallic (usually stainless steel or titanium) cylinder containing numerous internal sound baffles, with a hollow bore to allow the projectile ( bullet) to exit normally. Comes with an appropriate timing shim set.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, therefore 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 muzzle.NOT considered a flash hider - California legal. 075mm & x1 2mm Washer.ĭoes NOT work with the BMD, Blast Mitigation Device. The DGN556B-ASR Brake/ Mount is threaded 1/2-28UNEF and is designed to be used with 5.56/.223 Caliber ammunition only.Comes with an appropriate shim set for timing the brake/mount. Full auto fire is possible with massively reduced recoil and muzzle climb, meaning that all shots fall on target. Its unique Short Energy Pulse system reduces the length of recoil so that repeating shot energy cannot overlap and knock the shooter off target. It features their patented gas handling system that reduces muzzle rise and recoil to zero, meaning that the only recoil felt by the shooter is from the movement of the carrier and buffer within the buffer tube. The DGN556B-ASR is precision machined, hardened to 48Rc and nitride finished for enhanced corrosion resistance.
