Building a gun suppressor (sometimes called a “silencer”) is a popular DIY project among firearm enthusiasts. While the process isn’t particularly difficult, there are a few key considerations to keep in mind.
The first step is to choose the right materials. A good quality aluminum or stainless steel tubing is essential, as is a high-strength welding rod. You’ll also need some sort of damping material, such as Velvetyne Acoustique or another similar product.
Once you have your materials gathered, you’ll need to cut the tubing to length and weld it together. The exact dimensions will vary depending on the design you’re going for, but most suppressors are around 8-10 inches long and 1-2 inches in diameter.
Once the tubing is welded together, you’ll need to add the damping material. This is usually done by stuffing it into the end of the tubing and then sealing it off with a cap.
And that’s it! With a few hours of work, you’ll have created your very own gun suppressor.
