This baffle is near the end of the silencer where it mates with the firearm. Controlling and cooling the gasses before they exit the silencer reduces the sound significantly compared to a non-suppressed muzzle or flash hider. The stacked baffles inside a suppressor disperse the expanding gasses by redirecting them before they ultimately escape the silencer. Silencers are generally made from these core parts. These baffles divert, slow, and cool the gasses within the suppressor.
Silencers reduce sound, recoil, and muzzle flash by diverting gasses that propel the bullet through the firearm barrel through baffles. As a result, modern suppressors are becoming more popular for recreational shooters, hunters, and law enforcement. For over a century, silencers have seen advancements in materials, design, and manufacturing processes making them more reliable, affordable, and accessible to the public. Suppressors, also known as silencers, have been available to the public since 1902 when Hiram Percy Maxim patented the first successful commercial suppressor.
