Why a “Shorter” Silencer Can Make Your Rifle Longer
At Stalon, we are going all in on one very clear message: we deliver the best sound reduction on the market for its size, especially in terms of extension. It sounds technical. But in reality, it is simple. How much longer does your rifle actually become when you attach a silencer? That is where many […]
How Much Does a Silencer Reduce Sound and Recoil?
How much does a silencer actually reduce in terms of sound reduction and recoil control? It’s one of the most common questions we get. At Stalon, our goal is to achieve around 30 dB of sound reduction with a modern silencer. Ten years ago, 20–25 dB was widely considered sufficient. Today, both expectations and engineering standards have evolved. […]
Do I Need Multiple Silencers, or Is One Enough?
Do you really need two silencers, or is one sufficient? Many hunters face the choice between optimizing a rifle for one specific type of hunting or building a more flexible setup that adapts to different needs, conditions, and preferences. The answer is simpler than it seems, but first, it’s important to understand that the question […]
Are Longer Silencers Quieter? Data, Testing, and Trade-offs
A common question among hunters is whether a longer silencer actually makes a rifle quieter. The answer is both yes and no — it depends on several factors such as internal volume, baffle design, caliber, and barrel length. In this article, we’ll look at what the data and real-world tests show, how to think when […]
Why does the first shot sound louder? FRP and silencers for hunting
Have you ever noticed that the first shot through your silencer sounds louder than the ones that follow? That’s no coincidence. In the silencer industry, this well-known phenomenon is called FRP — First Round Pop. What is First Round Pop? First Round Pop occurs when you fire the very first shot through a silencer. The […]
What affects sound reduction? A practical walkthrough from Stalon
Sound reduction is about more than the silencer’s internal geometry. Several external factors play a role, and one of the most significant is the relationship between barrel length and caliber. To understand why, we must look at how the powder burns, the muzzle pressure wave, and the silencer’s front work together. BARREL LENGTH, CALIBER, AND […]
We are Stalon
In a small place deep in the forests of the Swedish highlands, silencers of the highest quality are made. Stalon silencers are developed in Lapland and trusted by hunters worldwide. In the middle of nowhere lies a small village surrounded by forests, mountains, and peaks. In a valley on the edge of the Swedish highlands, […]
How Much Recoil Is Reduced with a Silencer?
Recoil is something every hunter and shooter is familiar with: the force that pushes the firearm backward when a shot is fired. But what exactly is recoil, how does it occur, and how much can a silencer actually reduce it? WHAT IS RECOIL? When a shot is fired, the bullet is pushed forward by the […]
Which silencer is best for driven hunts and stand hunting? | Complete guide
Choosing the right silencer is not only about caliber, it’s just as much about how you hunt. A silencer that’s perfect for driven hunts is rarely the best option for stand hunting, and vice versa. In this guide, we’ll go through the key differences between the two hunting forms, explain how front length affects sound […]
HOW TO PREVENT MOISTURE AND RUST IN YOUR SILENCER
A silencer is a precision tool exposed to extreme conditions every time you use it. Rapid temperature changes, corrosive gunpowder residues, and challenging weather conditions all affect the material. One of the most common questions we receive concerns moisture in silencers and why it is so important to dry them after use. In this article, […]
