I agree with the decision to remove the unessecary trivia (was honestly debating just doing in the first place) since I couldn't get it to flow right) however I am readding the "or Silencer" part simply due to it being called such in some of the titles

-A '''suppressor''', also known as a '''silencer''' or '''sound moderator''', is a [[Weapon attachment|device attached to a firearm]] to reduce the amount of noise and flash generated by firing the [[weapon]]. It generally takes the form of a cylindrical-shaped metal tube that is attached to the barrel of a firearm, with various internal mechanisms to reduce the sound of firing by slowing the escaping propellant gas, and sometimes by reducing the velocity of the bullet. The point is to keep the user concealed and undetected. Suppressors are also commonly used to help reduce the risk of a weapon's operator or those around them suffering from hearing damage or loss, especially in close quarters combat, in which soldiers will of course typically use firearms while in close proximity to one another.

-*The suppressor on the [[M6C/SOCOM]] cannot be physically found. It is "hidden" inside the compensator.
-*Silencer is the original legally defined term for such noise reduction devices, however, lobbyist efforts by American gun rights organizations seeking to replace the traditional term "Silencer", with the more descriptive term "Suppressor", have gained significant traction since the beginning of the 21st century.
