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 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 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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
