Formerly and incorrectly known as silencers - they reduce noise but do not eliminate it entirely, like in the movies.

Not incorrectly. The inventor patented it as a “silencer’.

Silencers are a misnomer for sure. Suppressor is not even accurate. In fact, it’s hard to tell if the report is being suppressed at all. How silencers are portrayed in movies is totally fake.
