Silencer Guide with Decibel Level Testing

I knew silencers aren’t “silent” like in the movies where they make guns go “pew” instead of “BANG!”, but there was a lot of stuff I didn’t know, like the difference between a silencer and a suppressor.

Actual testing is at the bottom of the article, if you don’t feel like you need all the background discussion, although I thought that was a the best part.

Also, I found the charts are a little hard to understand at a glance. Just know that all the unsuppressed are on top, and all the unsuppressed are on the bottom of each chart. Personally, I might’ve gone with suppressed immediately followed by unsuppressed for each weapon, but I didn’t do the testing.
