Obviously, the term "silencer" is a misnomer. Its main use seems to be to add drama to a dull movie or fodder for a dull politician.
If you strive for accuracy, don't let the term "suppressor" stand alone in this context; use the term "sound suppressor."
And the term "gun suppressor" should only be used to refer to politicians.
Best of all, why not use a term that far more people are familiar with and that most accurately describes the function of the device? That term is "muffler." It does exactly the same thing in the same way on a car, motorcycle, lawn mower, firearm, etc. And it's used for the same reason: to protect the hearing of those around it.

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
