How A Gun Silencer Actually Works 😱

[javiergonzales]

The green gas looked really satisfying to watch

The difference with/without a suppressor is the type of ear protection you'll need.

[oohi-helpme]

Silencers actually don't make guns fully silent like in the movies, it just makes them a bit less loud so that your eardrums don't bleed.

that bullet started its journey from the hammer lol

[fidjeenjanrjsnsfh]

Note for the animator: guns are mechanically timed so that the bullet exits the barrel before cycling happens and the case is ejected. Doing it before would result in a squib.

Funfact: Silencers don't make the guns as quiet as in the John Wick movies.

(The war of the nerds in the replies is real)

[panchofridayaa]

I think it makes the sound waves destructively interfair

[SaxtonGaming]

Worth mentioning that it also doesn't make the gun almost silent, it just reduces the colossal noise that guns make to more reasonable levels.

Not the casing ejecting before the bullet even left the barrel
Yall can stop comenting about the bullet not even being in the barrel

[moonlightarchives]

Notice how he says "Significantly reduces". Means the sound doesn't get completely canceled off, unlike we see in a lot of movies

[GamrDoug]

It’s why they’re actually called suppressors. And not silencers.

“Remember, switching to your sidearm is faster than reloading.”

[crablord]

Even with a silencer most gunshots still sound like someone striking a table with a hammer at full strength

[theworldsgreatestjidiot]

Just to clarify, it doesn't silence it. It's still loud as hell

[AlicesWondereland]

Note for the animator: The bullet is fired from within the barrel. Not behind it. Nor would it have lands and grooves before entering the barrel.

[Hip.Hip.Hurray]

For anyone wondering, it's still loud enought for anyone to notice that shots have been fired. And no you cannot use it while taking someone down as it's still gonna be loud enought.

Whom ever made this animation missed one crucial aspect, The slide does not travel backward and eject the case until after the bullet has already left the barrel, it does not immediately eject the case as the bullet is traveling down the barrel. There is a high pressure spike, then a delay, then the breach block releases once there is less pressure.

[NondescriptIndividual]

Love how the slide moves like 20 times faster than the bullet

Thanks for teaching me how to Simonson
