How Stuff Works Presents How Silencers Work
Now before all of you get worked up over “silencer” in the title, its the title of the video of which (much to their credit), How Stuff Works corrects the viewer that our beloved cans are called “suppressors”. Its a fun video meant for entertainment purposes but if any of our readers have been under a rock, the video does explain suppressors broken-down Barney-style.
Complete with info-graphics, a guy who may actually understand what he is talking about (until he says its a 20 dB explosion), and sound-effects, it will at least entertain you four minutes. Ignore the last thirty seconds which turns into an advertisement.

What's wrong with calling them a "can"? I'm kind of curious why this liberal douche bag sees the need to imply that a suppressor owner may kill you?
you should do a video on "How Lighting Works", you Video Lighting SUCKS!
