Silencers were regularly used by agents of the United States Office of Strategic Services, who favored the newly designed High Standard HDM . 22 LR pistol during World War II. OSS Director William Joseph "Wild Bill" Donovan demonstrated the pistol for President Franklin D. Roosevelt at the White House.
When were gun silencers first used?
In 1902, Maxim took similar technology he once used in car mufflers and produced the first commercially available firearms suppressor. He founded Maxim Silencer and patented the proprietary tubular device in 1909. The Maxim Silencer attached to a barrel of a firearm to reduce noise and muzzle flash.
When were suppressors used in war?
Despite global marketing by Maxim, no nation's military force made widespread use of silencers until World War II. The Maxim Model 1912 was the first mass-marketed silencer designed specifically for military purposes.
