How do you attach a M16 silencer?

Suppressors (or moderators) may be attacked a number of ways, depending on the design of the suppressor. Some use the same threads which the flash suppressor uses, and require you to remove the flash suppressor first. However, you must also replace the standard crush washer with a peel washer when doing this. Some are designed to work in conjunction with a flash suppressor designed to facilitate the attachment of a sound suppressor.. Advanced Armaments designs come to mind here, with their suppressor-capable versions of the Blackout flash suppressor.

Can you buy a suppressor for a shotgun?

I have never heard of a commercially-made shotgun silencer (or suppressor, or moderator). But there's no reason why you could not have one custom made for you, or make your own, on a Form 1. Assuming you live in a place where there are no state or local laws against silencers, as long as they are federally registered to you. I would not expect it to be as quiet as a pistol suppressor. The holes in the baffles would have to be extra-wide to avoid the projectiles hitting the insides of the suppressor.

Basically a gun silencer reduces the loud sound the rapidly expanding gas makes when a gun fires. Captures and slows down the gases before they leave the suppressor. However, for best results you need to be using subsonic ammnition.
