sound moderator OBM48

After a shot, the gases in the propellant charge expand and escape at the end of the barrel. A sound moderator inhibits this through various chambers and specially shaped structures. Our sound moderator OBM48 offers the hot, high-pressure gases flowing out of the muzzle a space in which the extremely high pressure can be reduced. When the gases escape from the sound moderator into the environment, the much lower pressure results in an audibly quieter bang. The more volume the sound moderator provides for this, the greater the expansion effect. 

This results in a significant reduction in muzzle blast of up to 32–37 dB (decibels), depending on the caliber used. The volume ratio of the silencer also causes frequency modulation, which makes the audible blast sound significantly more muffled. Another major advantage of our sound moderator is the significant and noticeable reduction in recoil, as well as the near-complete elimination of visible muzzle flash.

Less recoil and better accuracy – with the ANSCHÜTZsound moderator.
