Sound suppressors reduce recoil and muzzle rise. This contributes to better accuracy by reducing the shooters tendency to anticipate recoil or “flinch”, thus maintaining a consistent hold on the target through the shot. Suppressor use also reduces the muzzle rise of a firearm, making it possible for the shooter to “stay on target” and follow up with secondary shots more quickly. In full auto mode, the use of a suppressor increases accuracy of full auto fire. The operational use of sound suppressors is growing rapidly. The antiquated mindset that they are a tool for “assassins” is being replaced by a growing understanding of how they work and of the operational benefits of their use.
