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.
