  2. Silencer (firearms) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silencer_(firearms)

    A silencer, also known as a sound suppressor, suppressor, or sound moderator, is a muzzle device that suppresses the blast created when a gun (firearm or airgun) is discharged, thereby reducing the acoustic intensity of the muzzle report (sound of a gunshot) and jump, by modulating the speed and pressure of the propellant gas released from the ...

  3. Accurizing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accurizing

    Comparison of milliradian (mil) and minute of arc (moa).. Since adjusting the point of impact to match the point of aim is relatively simple with any type of adjustable sights, the primary goal of accurizing is to increase the precision of the firearm, which is generally measured by looking at the dispersion of a number of shots fired at the same point of aim.

  4. Flash suppressor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_suppressor

    The Noveske Rifleworks KX-3 is a flash suppressor intended for use on shorter barreled rifles and aids in reliability. The back pressure generated through this type of flash suppressor helps to cycle the rifle. Noveske patterned this design on the muzzle brake found on the Soviet AKS-74U carbine, where it was explicitly used for this purpose.

    The question is, how much faster do suppressors increase the rate at which a suppressor-equipped firearm heats up? Does the increase depend on the design? Do integral suppressors heat up faster due to how they bleed off more propellant gas than non-integral ones do? --Mazryonh 06:13, 11 February 2014 (UTC) Good questions.

    This due to the requirements of US commercial customers who must procure a different Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives tax stamp for each silencer they own. [5] Their first silencer was the Sandman series. [3] In 2018 Dead Air introduced Key-Mo, an adaptor which allows the use of Silencerco silencers with Dead Air muzzle ...

    The resulting white print can be enhanced with fingerprint powder to increase the contrast of the white print against the weapon's finish. [14] While using the fuming technique on recovered guns is commonplace, the recovery of fingerprints from the surfaces of a firearm is challenging due to the textured grip and the general condition of ...

  8. Muzzle booster - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muzzle_booster

    Animation of the Vickers muzzle booster operation, showing the expanding gases pushing the barrel to the rear relative to the cooling jacket. A Vickers-type muzzle (or recoil) booster, the "typical" type, consists of two parts: a flared "cup" on the muzzle of the barrel, and a perforated tube around the end of the muzzle, attached to the main body of the weapon.

  9. Gunfire locator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunfire_locator

    Most flash suppressors are designed to minimize the visible signature of the gunfire. Flash suppressors break up the expanding gases into focused cones, thereby minimizing the blossoming effect of the exploding gasses. These focused cones contain more of the signature in a smaller volume. The added signal strength helps to increase detection range.
