Silencers

Abstract

This report presents physical and functional descriptions and acoustical evaluation of various domestic and foreign silencers and silenced small arms weapons. Included are cross-sectional drawings and external view photographs of all systems tested. An acoustical evaluation of each system is given in the form of far field sound pressure-time records. All major constituents of sound signatures are identified and time-correlated with their respective sources in the system. Additionally, the report presents a record of silencing principles and a theoretical analysis of the various noise generating phenomenon.
