A flow-through suppressor, also known as a wet suppressor, is a firearm suppressor that uses a liquid, typically water or oil, to reduce the sound and muzzle flash produced by a gunshot. The liquid helps to cool the expanding gases and absorb the sound waves, making the suppressor more effective at reducing noise and flash. Flow-through suppressors are often used on submachine guns and assault rifles, as they can handle the high volume of fire produced by these weapons.
Flow-through suppressors have several advantages over other types of suppressors. First, they are relatively inexpensive to manufacture. Second, they are lightweight and easy to attach to a firearm. Third, they are very effective at reducing noise and flash. However, flow-through suppressors also have some disadvantages. First, they can be messy to use, as the liquid can leak out of the suppressor. Second, they can be difficult to clean, as the liquid can clog the suppressor’s. Third, they can be less effective in cold weather, as the liquid can freeze.
