Product Description
This highly anticipated second volume in the Silencer History and Performance series provides an unprecedented look into the evolution, tactical employment and performance of historic and state-of-the-art silenced firearms suitable for close-quarters combat, long-distance sniping and other professional applications. It chronicles the production of pioneering silenced weapons used during World War II and the Cold War as well as the more sophisticated low-signature designs and tactics that emerged from the Vietnam War and again during an explosion of creative development in the 1990s. The authors have combined recently declassified materials, numerous confidential sources and years of hands-on evaluations to reveal a wealth of information about today's incredible screw-on and integral suppressors.

Reader Reviews
This is the largest, most complete, most current book on silencers I have ever seen. It is not a how to make book, but a description of the silencers that have (mostly) been put into production in recent years. The book starts with a general introduction into sound and silencers and the various problems with silenced weapons including the public relations aspect. After that there are five big chapters on: The Evolution of Technology for Suppressed Handguns Silenced Submachine Guns for CQB and Covert Ops . . . CQB - Close Quarter Battle Suppressed Centerfire Carbines The Evolution of Assault Rifle Suppressors The Evolution of Sniper Rifle Suppressors Unless you are an expert in silencers, there are an awful lot of devices shown here that you've never seen before. I could list them, but it would take a full page on your screen. This is a book that is going to remain as a standard of the subject for a lot of years.
