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 |
| "Secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy ... censorship. When any government, or any church, for that matter, undertakes to say to it's subjects, 'This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,' the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything. You cannot conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him." --Robert A. Heinlein, "Revolt in 2100" (Pg. 68-69, Baen Books paperback edition, 1999 printing) |
