"Hear the Truth About Suppressors" presented by the NSSF
The National Shooting Sports Foundation ( NSSF) is a tremendous steward and champion of the shooting sports. Their work occurs through innumerable events throughout the US in educating people about firearms, but they also do smaller works as well. Some of those are simple infographics that can catch fire on social media and sometimes be even more valuable to the promotion and betterment of our cause. One simple yet highly effective one recently was about suppressors or silencers.
There are a lot of smoke, mirrors, myths, and lies surrounding silencers. Unfortunately, there are a lot of people who are not afforded the opportunity to see silencers live in-action, in-person. The only knowledge they have of them is through falsely perpetuated imagery and cinema from Hollywood. This can make them appear to be ultra-cool, but simultaneously, very dangerous, and just generally portrayed incorrectly. That is where the NSSF jumps in with some knowledge bombs!
The NSSF released the following statement regarding their educational infographic for the masses on silencers:
In this all-new infographic, the National Shooting Sports Foundation® (NSSF®) provides the history, specifications, benefits and uses of firearm suppressors. Don’t suppress your knowledge! Review the information within this infographic, head to the range to hear the real difference and share this post so your friends know the truth about suppressors.

Maybe start by calling them what they are, SUPPRESSORS. Not silencers. The only time a gun is silent is when it is not being fired or manipulated. "There are a lot of smoke, mirrors, myths, and lies surrounding
silencers. Unfortunately, there are a lot of people who are not afforded
the opportunity to see silencers live in-action, in-person."
Popping a Champagne cork is louder than a .22 pistol with a suppressor using subsonic ammo.
