A suppressor 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.
