How does a gun suppressor work?
Also called a silencer, these are legal in the US, but regulated by the same agency that handles machineguns. PART of the noise created by a gunshot is the shockwave created by the expanding gasses from the burning gunpowder. A suppressor captures most of the gasses in a system of baffles or chambers, slows and cools them, and releases them gradually. They do not truly silence a gunshot, but they can reduce or suppress much of the sound and muzzle flash.
What would one use a Boss Noise Suppressor for?
There are many ways one could potentially use a Boss Noise Suppressor. The Boss Noise Suppressor is most commonly used to reduce noise output from noisy machinery.
Do rifle suppressors reduce the acccuracy of the projectile?
Not unless the baffles are sized incorrectly, and cause the projectile to come into contact with them. A properly made suppressor won't have this problem. It is, however, possible for a suppressor to affect barrel harmonics, which can reduce the accuracy of the rifle itself.
The use of multiple cooling fans in a case has which advantages?
Improve airflow, reduce internal system temperature, increase memory efficiency. Basically helps to keep components from over heating.
What kinds of suppressors are available for pistols?
All suppressors reduce muzzle report and most reduce muzzle flash. Though brands vary, all accomplish the same basic task. Make sure to check size compatibility before purchasing a suppressor. Several US jurisdictions have outlawed the civilian possession of suppressors, as such, check local and state regulations before purchasing a suppressor.

What does silencer do on a gun?
More properly called noise suppressors, they lower the loudness of the gunshot. Don't be fooled by the near silent 'thub thub' that silenced guns make in a movie - a silencer's purpose is user safety. A gun is incredibly loud, the sound from its various components can often be 160 decibels. A silencer can reduce this by up to 30db, and when combined with suitable headgear, drop the volume to a safe level.
Can clothing prevent tattooing and stippling to a contact gunshot wound?
Yes, thick and/or dense clothing that does not allow the burnt gunpowder to make contact with a victim's skin can severly reduce or prevent stippling all together.
Does a rifle surpressor really work?
Spell check- Suppressor. Yes, they do work. However, they may not do what you think they do. They do not totally silence a rifle- they REDUCE a PART of the noise made by the muzzle blast. There is also noise made by a high speed bullet breaking the sound barrier- and they do not reduce THAT. They will make a rifle quieter, but not as quiet as the ones in the movies.
How does a silencer work on a gun?
A silencer is more properly called a sound suppressor. Silencers do not make a firearm truly silent, they only reduce the noise. The sound of a gunshot is composed of two things - the blast of hot gas exiting the muzzle at high speed and the crack of the bullet breaking the sound barrier. The silencer deals with the gas. The inside of a a silencer is a lot like a car muffler. It's basically a large can with barriers called baffles. The gas bounces around these baffles and in the process expands and slows down so that it makes little to no noise as it exits.
