SUPPRESSORS & SILENCERS Most of the public knows the B&T brand name not because of their innovative firearms, but because of the quality si- lencers and suppressors made for both military and law enforcement and for ci- vilian use. There are multiple benefits from the weapon mounted suppressors. They de- crease the sound impact of the gunshot to safe level and increase safety on the range. They decrease the risk of hearing loss. They decrease the shot pressure in the confined spaces. They decrease the visual signature of gunshot. In military and law enforcement operations, use of suppressor increases the situational awareness, improves communications and friend-or-foe identification (when bad guys are not using suppressors). And they are eco-friendly too, because shooting suppressed is quiet! B&T flagships are Rotex and Impul sup- pressors for most firearms, even includ- ing machine guns. They are available in different lengths, calibers and barrel at- tachments types (threaded or quick-de- tachable). The effectiveness and sound reduction level might be also customized. The latest suppressors are the M.A.R.S. family (Miniature Assault Rifle Suppres- sor) developed to meet requirement of United States Marine Corps. The weight reduction and flash reduction was par- amount and the sound reduction was secondary issue. This caused the sound reduction to 140 dB only but he goal was met and even exceeded. www.fragoutmag.com
