We recommend unscrewing the silencer from the gun and storing it upright in the gun cabinet. This recommendation applies regardless of whether the silencer has been actively used or not. Moisture can collect inside the silencer, which in combination with combustion residues can form an aggressive substance. This can lead to corrosion damage in the silencer, including in the barrel of the weapon. It is therefore advisable to provide a holder for the silencer in the gun cabinet, for example from MASIMO.

Yes, but with a loss of performance in terms of silencing. The silencer achieves the optimal silencing performance when the bullet calibre matches the inner diameter as best as possible. Because the smaller the differences between the bullet and the guidance in the silencer, the less gas can escape the bullet past the silencer. This leeway reduces silencing performance with a smaller caliber. 

Any change in bullet guidance affects the point of impact of a bullet. The silencing performance of a silencer also leads to a reduction in the recoil of the weapon. Responsible for this is the special construction of the HAUSKEN silencers, especially in connection with the XTRM mesh. However, the bullet is also slightly affected by the turbulence of the gases within the silencer. With the enormous silencing performance, the point of impact is shifted by a few centimetres. In addition, the uniform repeatability of a shot is optimized due to the significant reduction in recoil. The more comfortable shooting behaviour affects the accuracy of the shooter. After installing a silencer, we recommend checking the shot pattern at a shooting range provided for this purpose. In this way, necessary adjustments can be made and ultimately a fair hunt is always guaranteed!

No, silencers can only reduce the sound of the shot, but not completely compensate it. In the case of hunting ammunition in particular, the additional factor of the sonic boom must be taken into account, which is due to the high speed of hunting ammunition. HAUSKEN silencers can be purchased in a variety of styles, with silencers featuring an XTRM mesh or the larger models such as the HAUSKEN WHISPER MEGA XTRM, designed to reduce a high percentage of shot noise.
