Yes They CAN: Silencer Central Suppressor Design

Whether you call them silencers, suppressors, or the more whimsical "whisper pickles," Silencer Central is now at the forefront of design.

Silencer Central began as Brandon Maddox's dream of a centralized purchasing platform for suppressors--a site that streamlines and eases the path to suppressor ownership for ordinary Americans. That dream has long since come true, and as it tends to do, that success bred more success. These days, Silencer Central is innovating the production of suppressors with its own branded line of "cans." 

But just as Silencer Central's original business model was built from a bold, innovative design, so are its silencers. In this great video from our friends at American Rifleman, you'll learn more about what goes into dreaming, drafting, and creating these wonderful devices that reduce a firearm's report (and, thus, your chances of hearing damage).
