Mini Suppressor? What is this?
A mini suppressor of some type on a Beretta Jetfire. What silencer is this? Do they even make suppressors that small?
What kind? Is it real? Do they come this small? imfdb.org And another small one on on a bigger gun imfdb.org imfdb.org |

It's not a real suppressor. None of the sound suppressors you see in movies or TV shows are real; typically, armorers just make suppressor cans from aluminum cylinders (or whatever else is available). It means that they have fewer NFA-regulated items to worry about on-set, and there's also a reason (I forget what exactly) that using a real suppressor in combination with blank ammunition is actually dangerous.

Are there real suppressors that are that small?

If anyone made a suppressor that small, it wouldn't do much to suppress the weapon (even one as low-caliber as the Jetfire). So no, I can't see why anyone would manufacture a suppressor like that.

Probably just an aesthetic thing, 20 minutes into the future and all that.
Would the blank rounds higher pressures cause the silencer to explode? That might be why you're not supposed to use them. |

As I said before, it usually hinders reliable cycling of the action, especially with handguns when using blanks. |

Back in the late 70s, I saw a photo of a P38K with a silencer that small that was suppose to be very quite. It was made for anti-terrorist units, and used special low velocity ammunition.

Suppressor technology since its invention has been becoming smaller, but not THAT small even for a pistol.
