A suppressor, or better known as the silencer, is a device attached to a firearm's barrel to reduce the amount of noise, flash, and recoil generated by the firing of the weapon.
It takes the form of a cylindrical metal tube that fits onto the firearm's barrel, with various internal mechanisms to significantly decrease muzzle flash and recoil, giving the weapon a barely noticeable sound, and increasing stealth applications.
Appearances in Halo
The Suppressor does not appear anywhere in the series, although it is mentioned in The Art of Halo[1], on the M7S Submachine Gun, a variant of the M7 Caseless.
Trivia
