A movie that I actually shot a gun "Maxim 9" like a dominator with a silencer integrated

SilencerCo, which sells 40% of the number of silencers sold in the United States, is the most popular type of silencer that reduces the shooting sound of guns that appear in spy movies etc., Integrated pistol of SF tick design which gun and silencer are put together into one "Maxim 9"Under development, Ars Technica actually shoots the prototype and reports it.

You can check how you are actually shooting Maxim 9 from the following movie over 5 minutes.

Reviewing the Maxim 9 from SilencerCo - YouTube


"Maxim 9" is based on "Smith & Wesson M & P" of 9 mm caliber,Suppressor(Silencer) · Engine section · It is a built-in suppressor built-in gun that gathered the barrel together. There is not a silencer with a tubular shape that you see frequently, and you can see the "Dominator"It is finished in a gun with an angular design like that.


Although there are many types of general suppressors that are mounted at the tip of the muzzle, it takes time and effort to install them, or if you do not attach them correctly, there is a possibility that a "baffle strike" will collide with bullets that collide with the muffling mechanism. Maxim 9 is compatible with off-the-shelf ammunition, has a suppressor as standard, so it can be handled easily and has the advantage that it can be stored in the holster as it is.

Modern firearms are fired from the barrel of the cartridge by the gas generated by the deflagration of the explosive. The broken sound "bread" that you hear at that time is generated by the sound pressure when the rapidly generated high temperature gas is injected. The suppressor is a mechanism that reduces sound due to sound pressure by diffusing hot gas at the time of launch with a baffle mounted on the inside, but most of modern semi-automatic guns and automatic guns arise from gases at the time of fire We are using action energy to load bullets in the chamber using kinetic energy, so if you simply spread the gas, there is a possibility that it will adversely affect the original circular action of the gun.


Also, in Hollywood movies, the guns with suppressors uniformly sound like "push," but almost no one can hope for a similar silencing effect, "only one of the two guards at the entrance is knocked down without being noticed The scene called "Hollywood specification" to the last. If it says that it is like a "silencer" rather than a "muffler" and that many of the suppressor's instructions will enable you to shoot at hearing safety value (130 db or less) ", Ars Technica I explain.

So, when a reporter from Ars Technica shot a 9 x 19 mm bullet pistol (Glock 26, Beretta 92 FS) actually equipped with a suppressor for comparison with Maxim 9, Maxim 9 was the smallest sound. Also, it seems that we did not feel the weight on the muzzle side, as the center of gravity was hard to shake because the suppressor was united, or if you could set it with the magazine pulled out. In particular, the repressor at Ars Technica says that the suppressor built in Maxim 9 was a surprise level, suppressor built in Maxim 9 had the effect of suppressing recoil by gas when firing, so it was a response not to other guns .


Although it is practical Maxim 9 which is said to be "product level completion", the sale timing is around the end of the year as soon as possible, and the price is yet to be determined at the moment. In order to have a suppressor in the United States, it is necessary to submit a 200 dollar (about 24,000 yen) tax payment stamp to the authorities, purchase a suppressor and register it with the authorities, but suppression It is said that if an integrated gun is released, it may be enough to just purchase a gun.
