A '''suppressor | A '''suppressor''' is a [[Weapon attachment|device attached to a firearm]] to reduce the amount of noise and flash generated by firing the [[weapon]]. It generally takes the form of a cylindrically-shaped metal tube that is attached onto the barrel of a firearm, with various internal mechanisms to reduce the sound of firing by slowing the escaping propellant gas, and sometimes by reducing the velocity of the bullet. The point is to keep the user concealed and undetected. | ||

The suppressor makes its first gameplay appearance in ''[[Halo 2 Vista]]'', and is mentioned in [[Art of Halo|The Art of Halo]]<ref>'''[[Art of Halo]]''', ''page 108''</ref>, on the [[M7S Caseless Submachine Gun]]. In ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'' it has made an appearance attached to the end of an [[M7S SMG]] and [[M6C/SOCOM]] used by an ODST. In the novels, the suppressor was used in many battles by the [[SPARTAN-II]]s, when they attached it to their MA5Bs<ref>'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]'''</ref>, and the [[M7S|suppressed version of the M7]] was also used by [[Staff Sergeant]]s [[Byrne]] and [[Avery Junior Johnson|Johnson]] at the beginning of ''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''. | |||

The suppressor | *The original plan for the suppressor, which originated around the time of [[World War II]], was to modify the sound of the weapon firing into a different, unrecognizable sound, rather than to reduce loudness of a discharge, as its name suggests. | ||
*The popular name for the suppressor is "silencer", but this is a misnomer as sound is still present. | |||
*It is unknown if the suppressor is used on other UNSC weapons, such as the [[M6 Series|M6]], or [[S2-AM Series|S2-AM]] series. | |||
*It is also unknown whether if the [[Covenant]] has a counterpart to this [[attachment]], though it is unlikely considering the little noise their weapons typically cause and the Covenant's preference for face-to face combat. | |||
*The suppressor on the [[M6C/SOCOM]] cannot be physically found. It is "hidden" inside the compensator. | |||
