In his and legal for the disciples is always knowledge the field of firearms and sound sup- many years of experience, Ed has seen, examined, and used thousands of silencers, both legal and otherwise.
He once told another expert in the field most effective and efficient types of homemade silencers conform to five basic design features. To keep your work simple, and to help you get a good, working silencer for your own gun easily and that the quickly, I'm going to share those five expert design tips own study and use.
They are: Mounting should utilize a threaded connection, which gives a gas-tight seal. Next best is a compression seal, followed by mechanical. If you use the latter, use for your 1. That could be dangerous for you. Your silencer needs large, definite expansion chambers to capture the hot gases generated from the cartridge explosion.
Keep the muzzle exit hole as close as possible to the caliber of the firearm. This is vital so that gas and thus noise doesn't escape with the bullet. The best homemade designs employ some type of perforated plastic, rubber, cork, or leather discs inside the silencer along the path of the bullet. Real silencers have to be large enough to contain 80 to 90 percent of the noisecausing gas that escapes when a gun is fired. Even a closed-bolt. The weight of the unit will be you re talking reflective of its size, of course.
The following are some very simple can create in just minutes from common you you 'em on silencers materials would normally toss in the trash. They work pretty well for a half dozen shots or so. Illustrations to register this unit like any other silencer, of One courtesy of William Seymour All some you need is electrical tape, a plastic 2-liter soda pop bottle, and a hose clamp. Use the tape to over bulk up the barrel of the firearm so the bottle goes keep and barrel with the tape it snugly— just wrap the you get a good in place.
Aim and fire. Use the clamp to hold it into the For variation, you can pour a bit of water This will bottle before you put it on your firearm.
Keep the waterline below the bore line, since you don't want to shoot through the water or have it flow back into the weapon, flooding further the barrel. But be warned: The heat caused by the muzzle blast will probably melt the If which makes a real mess. This is another good reason to have your gun barrel well-taped. You can plastic, also stuff fire-retardant rags into the bottle. This design is the work of Cleveland Amoral and Huze.
They introduced it to the members of the Myopic and Petrified Skeet and Old Boys Club, a major Billy You can easily make a firearm silencer simply by mounting any used beer or pop can onto your pistol. These plans show how to make a simple mount for the replaceable silencer. BATF requires you to register the mount, of course.
Illustrations courtesy of John A. If you want a more permanent mounting, use set screws or a compression fitting. In either case, first add a light covering of electrician's tape to the barrel so you don't mar the finish. You can also use a bracket mount over the end of the muzzle extension, or, for that matter, the muzzle itself. It must be large enough to fit completely over the empty can, which will act as the body of your silencer.
Line the inside rim with sponge rubber. You can use a small amount of epoxy or a silicone sealant to secure the rubber to the back end of the bracket.
In the case of the bracket, slide the entire tab end of the can flush against the back of the bracket through which the muzzle or muzzle extension is sticking. Position the tab opening with the muzzle opening. You're done. The fired round exits through the sealed end of the can. Remove the can, stick on another one, and you're ready for a second shot. My old friend and Canadian connection to the recycle clutter all your of those trash.
I world of esoteric weaponry, John Minnery, suggests taping two cans in tandem to increase the silencer's quieting powers. Both the original and John's suggestion I work well. Despite their material beginnings and simple constructions, they performed very well. After muffler? Buy the muffler all, at what is a silencer but a a busy farm and garden shop.
Because many of these mufflers are designed only to trap gases and not to have a projectile passing through them, they often do not have straight-through openings. Using the proper size bit to match the caliber of the pistol or rifle you will use with this silencer, a straight hole the entire length of the muffler.
To mount drill you may need to remove the from your weapon, or you can choose a gun with the sight set back far enough for the muffler to this unit, front sight mount in front of it. Wrap the end of the barrel with electrician's tape to create a mounting bushing for the muffler. Place the muffler neck over the taped barrel and slip a hose clamp on the assembly. Don't tighten it yet. Take a dowel the same size as the caliber of the weapon, or a cleaning rod of the same caliber, and slip it down hole have in the muffler into the firearm barrel to align the the muffler with the bore of the gun.
When you aligned properly, tighten the hose clamp and remove the dowel rod. You now have a silenced it firearm. Thus, a mower makes a fine improvised silencer for your gun.
Illustration courtesy of Chuck E. One of the first designs saw came from John Minnery, the Canadian author and maven of the arcane Tennis balls I arsenal from the sub-rosa world. His design was a simple yet effective affair that you can easily replicate at your kitchen table.
You need a piece of PVC pipe 3-inch inside diamabout 12 to 14 inches long , three or four tennis balls, duct and electrician's tape, and the ubiquitous hose clamp. The barrel should fit snugly inside the pipe.
Put the PVC pipe over the ball and onto the tape bushing on the barrel. Place the hose clamp on the unit to hold it in place. Tighten it. Holding the gun so that PVC pipe is pointing upward, place the other tennis balls on top of the first one, one after the other. Cross the open end of the PVC pipe with heavy the end of the duct tape in an X pattern, but do not completely cover the opening. You don't have the tape, contrary to to cut holes or slits what others have in the balls or written.
Your first shot out of the gun will accomplish that. In a design variation suggested by Carla Rowan, a turned suburban housewife, only used, augmented by bronze or alumi- retired trickshot artist one tennis num ball is screening.
Here is Ms. Carla's design. She says you'll need a piece of PVC pipe the same size as the one used for the Minnery design, an end cap for it, and a small can of PVC cement. The rubber courtesy of John A. Minnery, Firearm Silencers If in if you will.
The gunfire gases swirl inside the the balls acts as a gas seal as well. Called a "tubular baffle-vortex suppression concept by its designer, it is somewhat easier to build at home than many conventional silencer designs.
Illustration courtesy of John A. Use the tape to create the bushing on the barrel. Use PVC cement to glue the end cap on one end of the pipe. Tightly roll a 5-inch by inch strip of screening around the wooden dowel. Slide the dowel and screen pipe and remove the dowel. Put the hose clamp over the open end of the pipe.
Tighten into the PVC clamp. That's why our in-house shaman, good old Doc Sarvis, came up with There's simple silencer this made of PVC pipe, corrugated cardboard, and screening.
He says the of barrel one to start second about an inch and a soon-to-be-silenced muzzle and the at the half back from that. Insert the dowel into the PVC pipe and slide the roll of comes to rest against cardboard washers. Remove the dowel. Do not glue these in place. Then Doc says to tightly roll a piece of 3-inch by inch screening around the dowel as you did before and insert it into the PVC pipe.
Align the silencer with the gun's bore by inserting a. Carefully slide the silencer unit back to the rear bushing. If the cleaning rod moves easily in and When out of the bore and unit, the alignment is OK. Doc also you remove the says it would be a whole cleaning rod from the bore before you fire the weapon. Illustration courtesy of make P. Here's all you need to build this silencer for your very own: electrician's tape, a small pin punch, a dowel or pencil, and two pieces of aluminum or bronze screening.
One will be 8 inches by 28 inches, the other 6 inches by 28 inches. First, remove the front sight from your weapon. Use a small pin punch or nail to drive out the pin holding the sight. If you can't remove the sight, you'll have to use the electrical tape to build up a mounting bushing around and over the sight. In any case, be sure to tape the end of the barrel so the screening doesn't scratch it. Now you can prepare the screening, which will If I diffuse the noise of the gunshot.
Lay out the 6-inch strip and tightly roll it around the dowel or pencil. When you come to the end, tape it together in the middle. This screen roll ought to match the outside diameter of your. Set this inner screen unit your weapon, using the dowel or pencil as an alignment guide into the bore itself.
Set the larger screen flush with the which means that two inches extend back over the taped barrel. This will hold front of the 6-inch screen, will the silencer on the weapon.
About five or six wraps ought to make the entire silencer unit fairly Carefully Simple Designs For Simple Minds A bit of tape, two rolls of screening, and some other odds and ends will give you an effective homemade silencer. Just follow the steps and you'll have this silencer ready to go in a very short while and it really works!
Illustration courtesy of Park E. Use scissors to remove excess screening from the outer roll. Be sure you put at least three or four layers around the unit and back onto the barrel The for a step is to wrap couple of inches.
Oh to last roll yeah; remember that dowel or pencil you used the first screen? Be sure you remove it from the and the bore before you fire the gun. An unwanted, nasty surprise awaits those who don't. You say it looks crude? You're right, it does look crude. But it works well for a few shots. What do you want, good looks or good silencer quiet?
Well stop tossing them away. Remove them gently, add some plastic or aluminum tubing, and you've got yet another silencer Ever wonder what to your. The cap 'n tube silencer is easy to make; a piece of kitchen-table pie, as it were. You'll need about twenty bottle caps, which is about five minutes of serious drinking for some of my old pals at The Lantern, a for piece of aluminum tubing into which the caps will snugly, an end cap for the tube, electrician's tape, fit and a hose clamp.
As usual, the first electrician's tape just for the silencer has to step is behind fit to make a bushing of the front sight. The tube snugly, and very snugly at that, over the bushing. You will need Either slot into bottle cap silencer gives you a useful way to get rid of all of the used soda- and beer-bottle caps you used to trash. Pack them properly inside a pipe as described in the text and you'll have a splendid silencer for your. Your hacksaw will handle this easily.
Use the file to really smooth things to cut over, getting rid of burrs. Insert a pencil or. Then, start adding on the rest of the caps, being sure that you stack them as you drilled them-all in one direction. The last cap should snug the pile downward. Insert the dowel into the tube. Put the end cap in place over the top of the tube to hold the caps down, securing it drill bit. Now insert the entire unit onto the gun's bore for alignment. Re- move the dowel before firing the weapon. They're missing one of the real rituals of young manhood -making a zip gun out of pipe.
Excuse me, it was just the old fart in good ole days. Although almost anyone can make a simple pipe like the design by Lisa Flema, the scourge of silencer, the Hotel. Lisa's silencer and boy, could she use one I requires a 7-inch piece of PVC or aluminum pipe.
The inner diameter of the pipe must match the outer diameter of the gun barrel to which you will attach this silencer. Lisa prefers Chore Boy pure copper sponges. You will need electrician's or duct tape as well. The commercial silencer tell us that these holes need to be 90 degrees apart. Next, slide the pipe onto the gun barrel far enough to seat it securely. Lisa says if you want to keep your front sight on the gun, you can always cut a slot for it on the pipe. Fit the hose clamp near the end of the pipe and the front of the gun and tighten it firmly.
The silencer must be firmly mounted, with no wobble or sway. Take out your Chore Boy copper sponges, remove the rivet, and carefully unfold them as flat as possible. You need an end cap to fit on the end of your pipe. If you need to cut the hole yourself, do it with a sharp razor or X-acto knife. Cut an X in the When you insert it into the pipe, be certain the alignment between the bore, the silencer pipe, and the plug is proper. As before, you can do this with a wooden dowel or cleaning rod.
Use two or three layers of duct or electrician's tape to completely cover the rubber plug and copper wrapLeave your alignment tool intact until you're finished covering the silencer with the tape. But be sure ping. Nice can, Lisa. The designs in the next chapter are only a bit more complex. As always, gentle reader, if you have a silencer design of your own you'd like to share with me and the readers, don't be shy.
Send sketches, photos, plans, explanations, uses, results, or whatever, to me: George Hayduke, P. Box , Boulder, CO And, yes, answer my own mail personally and as promptly I as possible. But please, don't panic. You might have to move a small wood block onto your kitchen table to back up a minor amount of drilling, but it'll be well worth it.
These silencers will work a bit more efficiently because of their design. In other words, they will make your gun even quieter than the silencers in the previous chapter. And, even though the designs are still basic and quite easy to construct using common tools and materials, the results will look more professional. The only technical additions I'm imposing on you here are ported barrels to bleed off explosive gases and some metal baffles to form expansion chambers to trap and quiet the exploding gases.
As Rudyard Kipling, kippered herring, once noted, "It's damned clever, but is it art? What mean is this silencer design uses a and series of baffled chambers made with washers spacers or with a series of automotive frieze plugs that I help quiet the sound of gunshots.
Building this will give you a generic silencer is fairly simple, and will I description that you can modify or adapt to your own weapon, caliber, design plans, or imagination. To make the generic model, you'll need a steel aluminum tube about 10 inches long and as close or as possible to the diameter of the frieze plugs you're going about to use as baffles.
You'll need enough plugs to fill hose 60 percent of the tube. You will also need a clamp to hold your silencer on the gun or a muffler clamp if it is going to be large-caliber model , electriof the cian's tape, and possibly rivets to fasten the end tube to the final plug. You can use a tape roll, a cardboard with the same inside diameter as the tube, or you can create an adapter from a block of wood.
Use an ap- The first step is propriately sized to prepare the saw put a hole through the tube and slide first, it it the block round, then equal to the outside diameter of over the barrel. Tape the barrel to make of course, to prevent scratches.
Use a hammer and wooden dowel plugs into the tube. Do it to force the firmly but gently, not as if you're trying to demolish something; you might if you do this too hard. Position the first plug about two-thirds of the way down the tube. The last plug must be flush with the end of the tube, so you may have to do some adjusting as you go. Use the rod to maintain proper alignment.
It has to be correct. Drill a few evenly spaced holes in the end of the tube and that last plug. Use a drill bit that is the same size as the rivets you'll done, rivet the tube and the You may want last the holes are plug together.
If you don't need them, don't bother. Install the silencer carefully, Use keeping that rod in as an alignment gauge. Tighten it either the hose or muffler silencer in place slowly and carefully until it is firmly in place. You now have a professional-looking will work very well. Happy shooting.
Don't wrap any tape. Here is a more clever design to finish off what We're going is already a great silencer. So, proceed as in Chapter 5, only stop before the final step of wrapping tape over the guts of the silencer.
You'll hole in need a frieze plug here, too. Drill a center the plug using a bit just slightly larger than the Fit the plug over the outer tube and caliber of the gun. At the other end of the outer tube you may want to drill You will neatly cut three or four slots to facilitate mounting to the weapon.
You will also need to make two mounting adapters on the inner tube with electrician's tape, one in front of the Chore Boy wrap and one behind it. These adapters obviously need to be the as the inner diameter of the outer tube.
The outer tube carefully sliding it unit is same diameter mounted on the gun by over the inner pipe so against the tape adapters. Firmly fasten it it fits snugly with a large hose clamp over the rear adapter so the unit is solid.
As always, you want to use the dowel or cleaning rod to make absolutely certain your silencer has proper alignment all the way from bore to frieze plug. Now go enjoy some quiet shooting time. The clinic, run by the Brothers of the Treasury I saw this had a two-tube silencer among its medical supplies. An interesting design, and it's one you can produce in the privacy of your own home. Police, need two pieces of aluminum or PVC tubing, each about 4 or 5 inches long.
It was packed with steel wool. Though it looked crude it was. You get a score between 1 and 9 for each section. Photo courtesy of John A. This book is not yet featured on Listopia.
