Notes on silencers: Existing hunting law bans or restrictions on the use of silencers in the respective federal states must be observed. In terms of target ballistics, the use of silencers when using normal hunting ammunition - the effect of the bullet remains the same. The perception of the surroundings is also not affected. Silencers reduce recoil as well as noise at the source. This protects the surroundings (e.g. Jagdhunde) from noise damage. They almost completely reduce muzzle flash, so that in poor light the markings and direction of flight of the game are easier to see. The silencer should always be removed before drawing the weapon to avoid damage to the aperture. Penetrating oils are recommended for cleaning and preserving silencers. High-temperature resistant greases are effective for thread care.
