Original Note:
Silencers were first developed in an effort to curb noise pollution for civilians target practicing and performing rodent control in 1909. They weren't thought of for military use until world war 2, some 30+ years later. They only reduce a weapon's sound instead of silencing it https://www.encyclopedia.com/social-sciences-and-law/law/crime-and-law-enforcement/silencers
