Barrelistics 5.56 MIMTi Suppressor

Suppressing a .22LR has become a practical and rewarding upgrade for many shooters of all levels. From the fundamentals to plinking, suppressing a .22 is great for new shooters because it reduces the noise and recoil and while advanced shooters love that too it also helps with accuracy and marksmanship.

A suppressor, also commonly called a silencer, is generally a cylindrical device that screws onto or integrates with a firearm’s barrel to lower the decibel level of gunfire. Despite the term “silencer,” it does not make a gun completely silent; instead, it suppresses the sound enough to protect hearing and reduce the sharpness of the muzzle blast. Inside a series of baffles and chambers redirect and cool the hot gases produced when a bullet is fired, slowing their release and muffling the noise. This mechanism is similar in concept to a car muffler.
