Silencer on a shotgun?

Tenn870 · Apr 12, 2010

Hollywood has been playing with the silenced shotgun alot. It has been to my understanding that a shotgun cannot accept a silencer because it has multiple projectiles. So my question is can you use buckshot, birdshot etc. with a silencer on a shotgun, or even with slugs. And has it been done?

Yes to what you can use and yes it can of course be done.

You can do it with birdshot / buck. Not seen it done with slugs but I'm sure its possible.

You can also get subsonic shotgun shells

This will make it a bit quieter.

Here are some silenced shotguns that can be easily purchased in the uk:

The silencers use a fenestrated tube. Provided an adequate shotcup there shouldn't be aproblem with multiple projectiles.

The video I posted is of a screw-on silencer, not a perforated barrel and permanent silencer.

The technology is different than described in your link, and fairly intelligent in design. I'm not sure if it's patented or not, so I will refrain from discussion thereof.

Those silencers are only about $100-200 USD. Man, if we could get silencers over here for that price...

Why?

If it's not patented yet, I'm not disclosing it.

Hope they've filed the paperwork. Not good to put unpatented inventions on public display.

Tromix was making shotgun suppressors, too, but Red Jacket seems to have taken the design a bit further. Tony's work is so popular he doesn't need the hassle of one-off work.

That one video without the supressor was insane. The flash was incredible.
