Frequently Asked Questions
1️⃣ How to choose a suppressor for a hunting weapon?
Following amendments to the Law on Arms and Ammunition, hunters can use guns with suppressors during sanitary shooting. An example of an excellent suppressor for hunting weapons is the A-Tec H2 A-lock .30. The modular suppressor from the Norwegian brand A-Tec has a disassembled and modular design, which allows easy cleaning and adjustment of the length of the device depending on the caliber of our weapon. The average suppression value is as high as 33 dB for .308 Win caliber.
2️⃣ What is the construction of a gun silencer?
The sound suppressor is usually made of aluminum and steel. The silencer takes the form of an elongated cylinder screwed onto the barrel, inside which are chambers and baffles. This gives the gunpowder gases more space to expand, decelerate and lower their temperature, resulting in a reduction in the pressure and noise associated with firing. The suppressor not only quiets the noise of the shot, it is also responsible for reducing recoil, improving shooting comfort and slightly increasing accuracy.
3️⃣ What is the effectiveness of gun silencers?
A suppressor attached to a weapon increases the volume of the barrel by as much as 20 to 30 times. This makes the exhaust gases have more space to expand (decelerate), their pressure decreases depending on the type of suppressor from 30 to 50 times, which, of course, makes the firing noticeably quieter. The Scandinavian suppressors A-Tec and Ase Utra Radien are the most popular among hunters and sport shooters.
