There are a few different ways to install a suppressor on a gun, but the most common one is to thread it onto the barrel. This can be done by hand, but it’s usually easier with a tool like a vise or a suppressor wrench. Once it’s tight, you’re ready to shoot. Suppressors work by trapping the expanding gases from the gunfire and allowing them to cool before they escape into the atmosphere. This makes the shot quieter and lessens the muzzle rise, making for a more pleasant shooting experience. When installed properly, there should be no significant adverse effect on accuracy or velocity.
One important note – while suppressors are legal in many states, there are some places where they are not. Be sure to check your local laws before purchasing or carrying one.
