"Silencer" is the older and frankly BS term. Silencers don't silence anything outside of video games and movies. They more "suppress" the noise and muffle it a bit.

Basically it's the difference of firing it outside and having your ears ring forever or just for a long time

It's not a BS term it is the patented term used by Percy Maxim when he invented it.

Fair enough, but it when most people hear the name, they expect what they see in media and not what it is in real life

They make nothing silent, it's a false term
