Homemade Silencers
|
|
|
|
This is a phile on building a firearm noise suppresser. It can be made simply out of cardboard and glue. First, a word on "silencers." The term
|
|
is a nice one, but very inaccurate. Anyone with more than a layman's knowledge of guns would call them a firearm noise suppresser, but that is also
|
|
somewhat misleading. They both sound as if they are a device that either eliminates or muffles the sound of a gun being fired. It really changes the
|
|
way it sounds. A "silenced" shot can also make sounds of up to 110 dB, but, if someone shot a gun near you, you wouldn't think,"That sounds like a
|
|
muffled gunshot," you'd think "I wonder what that sound was?" The sound that it makes depends upon the suppresser, the weapon, the caliber, and the
|
|
ammunition. Basically, there are 3 ways suppressers are made. Either with baffles (little washer-type things spaced at regular intervals along the
|
|
body of the silencer), screen (wire mesh wound around the inside walls of the tube), or a combination of the two. For simplicity, this one will use
|
|
baffles only, but anyone could adapt it to screen or a combination.
|
|
First, you need a tube. A roman candle casing would do the trick nicely, or any parallel wound casing of sufficient length, or you could use good,
|
|
sturdy PVC piping. I wouldn't use metal, cause the tube will turn into lethal shrapnel if there is a problem. You can use metal washers, or just
|
|
cardboard ones, but you should use the sturdiest type you can find. you can also use copper or steel scrubbing pads if you want to make a screen
|
|
version. Optimally, the tube should friction-fit snugly around the gun barrel, but you may not have a convieniently sized tube around, so you can
|
|
just wrap some duct tape around the barrel of your gun until it fits right. DO NOT TAPE THE SUPPRESSER TO THE GUN BARREL! Wrap the barrel with tape
|
|
evenly until the outside diameter is wide enough to hold the suppresser on. You should use cardboard baffles for your first try, and center them as
|
|
well as you can. If a bullet hits a carboard baffle, it will just keep going at a reduced speed. If it hits a metal washer, it will probably
|
|
ricochet off and leave the tube through the side, if at all, so you should be extra careful when using metal parts. Now, here's how to make it.
|
|
Make some baffles out of cardboard. This is a little tricky, cause a badly placed baffle could be dangerous, and would destroy the silencer.
|
|
These can be made either as circles or as circles with flaps to hold them on. The second type will make for a more durable and longer lived
|
|
suppresser. Then glue them onto the tube spaced regularly, 3/8" to 1/2" should do it. The tube should be from 8" to 10" long. Leave about 1 1/2" to
|
|
2" on one end to go over the barrel. If you have a sight on the gun, you'd be better off removing it, but you can cut a channel with an exacto knife
|
|
for it. The baffles should have a hole in them slightly larger than the diameter of the ammunition. Here's the diagram:

BTW, don't build this. Firearm Noise Suppressers are legal in some states, but they require a serial number and a $200 tax for each of them. Even
|
|
still, it is dangerous to make something like this, and I strongly suggest you don't try it. If you absolutely HAVE to, at least use a low charge 22
|
|
pistol or, better, rifle. I suppose this design would even have an effect on a pellet or BB gun, because it suppresses the sound of the expanding
|
|
gasses coming out of the barrel. I take no responsibility for what you do with this info, etc., etc. That's about it. Watch for more by,
