A suppressor holds back the gas produced by the powder explosion at the muzzle, reduces recoil and helps reduce gun shake. This results in increased accuracy.
Muffled firing facilitates voice communication within the unit. Provides camouflage for fighters by acting as a flame arrester.

Shooting with a suppressor reduces shot noise by an average of 20-35 dB, which is comparable with earplugs or tactical headphones.
