Suppressing muzzle blast to a more acceptable level is the surest way to achieve all the above. All that is required is access to a weapon with a threaded barrel and the silencer itself. Advancement in modern materials and manufacturing techniques, as well the evolution of their design, make them lighter and more effective for their
