While the statute calls these devices “silencers” or “mufflers”, the US NFA industry term is “sound suppressor”, as the word silencer has been given a negative connotation, and because it is inaccurate, as these devices do not eliminate all sound from firing a gun. However you can point the folks who get all high and mighty about the use of the word “silencer” to this definition; it is the legal term.
