A suppressor and a silencer are often used interchangeably, but they are not exactly the same. A suppressor is a device that reduces the noise, muzzle flash, and recoil of a firearm when it is fired, while "silencer" is a more colloquial term that implies complete noise reduction, which is not achievable. Suppressors can significantly decrease noise levels, but they do not make firearms completely silent.

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.

How do they make the silencer sound effect?

The silencer sound effect is typically created by reducing the noise of a gun firing using a combination of physical attachments, such as a suppressor or sound suppressor, and audio editing techniques. The suppressor reduces the sound produced by the expanding gas when a firearm is discharged, while audio editing can further manipulate the sound to create the desired effect used in movies, TV shows, and video games.

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.
