Combat Silencers is a unique report on silenced and
suppressed weapons, as well as the tactics of stealth
combat. The use of silencers by snipers armed with rifle

Review Table of Contents
“Several distinct types of noise of high or low degree, are produced by firearms in operation. Detonation comes first,
followed by the muzzle blast of expanding gases (the joint between revolver cylinders and barrels adds to this), and then
comes the shock wave created by bullet velocity. If the weapon is of the semi or full automatic variety there are also
mechanical noises produced. If these several noises could be silenced or materially reduced, a number of obvious
advantages would be gained, particularly by the military. A sentry or guard can be killed silently with a knife, but it is
difficult to stalk within killing range without the alarm being given. A silenced firearm could do the job from a distance. It
would indeed be helpful on night raids or patrols, and for silently wiping out isolated outposts of the enemy.”

Excerpt from Combat Silencers
For over fifty years, silencers have influenced stealth combat tactics. Silencers have been used repeatedly by snipers
armed with rifle silencers, although the most frequent use of silencers has been with pistols. This book discusses the
historical use of silencers beginning with World War 2 with German and OSS adaptations of silencers, and brings it forward
to modern day use of low-signature or suppressed weapons, including sub-machine guns, by snipers armed with rifle silencers
and special operations soldiers. The tactics of the special operations soldier frequently require participation in stealth
combat, for which a silencer is tailor made. This book is for educational purposes only, since silencers are illegal.
