SilencerCo recently released this really slick looking infograpghic demonstrating how silencers (or suppressors if you please) work. The graphic notes that silencer ownership has doubled since 2011.

Enjoy the video and don’t worry, when we do the full review we will cover setting the Z-Lok Zero Stop.
