What is a Gun Silencer?
A gun silencer, which may also be called a sound moderator or a suppressor is a device that attaches to the end of a gun and helps to diminish the noise that a gun creates when it fires. There are several people who worked on creating the gun silencer, at around the same time in the early 1900s. Of these people, the name Hiram Maxim often is mentioned, since he manufactured and sold silencers in 1902 and thereafter.
