Silencers for airsoft guns

Standard Silencers for airsoft guns

Standard silencers have several uses ranging from mere aesthetics, to muffling the sound of a shot, to covering a long inner barrel. These common silencers come in a variety of lengths, diameters and usually in black. In the vast majority of these silencers, we can find a dampening foam that muffles the sound similar to that of music studios. These cheapest silencers can be bought for around 14 Euro, but on the contrary the most expensive variants, which are 1:1 with their real counterparts, are around 90 Euro, mostly QD versions.

Our Tip:
QD stands for Quick Detach mount. This term is commonly used for quick-release optics, red dot sights, or sling mounts. In the case of suppressors, QD refers to models that don’t require screwing onto the barrel but instead snap onto a pre-installed muzzle device, usually a flash hider.

Tracer silencers for airsoft guns

Tracer silencers thanks to the integrated electronics and UV LED can light up special airsoft ammunition. This effect is especially useful in darker places, typically CQB or at night. For these silencers as already mentioned it is necessary to use Tracer BBs, which are made of materials that absorb UV light, thus they "charge" and glow throughout the flight. In recent years, tracer silencers are becoming more and more popular and it is not surprising since the cheapest ones can be bought from 60 Euro!
In addition to tracer silencers, you can also find muzzle flash imitation silencers in this category. This is an imitation of the real muzzle flash, which is generated by the traer unit inside the silencer.

Accessories for airsoft silencers

Accessories are also sometimes needed to go with the silencers to fill its potential to the maximum. You can find protective covers in different colors or camouflage patterns that have many uses, such as protecting from scratches, covering up an unsightly silencer, or the possibility of attaching camouflage elements to keep your replica from being seen in the wild. We also offer silencer fillers in the form of acoustic foam, so that you can silence your replica if your silencer did not have it from the factory. If your silencer doesn’t fit your replica, you will also find thread adapters, both CCW to CW and larger to smaller.

What to pay attention to when choosing a silencer?

When choosing a silencer, it is a good idea to pay attention to how it fits your replica, whether it has a left-hand (CCW) or right-hand (CW) thread. It's easy to tell, you will tighten the left-hand thread counter-clockwise and the right-hand thread clockwise. You also need to know the diameter of the thread on your replica. This, like the thread, can be found in the description of the replica, but measuring it is easy. If you have a caliper at home, use it to hug the thread on the barrel and measure how far apart the tops of the grooves are (the larger diameter). If the silencer doesn't fit the replica barrel don't worry, you can buy adapters as mentioned in the accessories paragraph.

Our Tip:
You can find the different thread types along with a table in the Flash Hiders category.
