Within a few years, silencers have become indispensable for hunting.
The Blaser silencers
Every single shot can cause irreparable damage to your hearing. It is therefore advisable to protect the hearing with every shot. However, hunting with silencers is still far from being the norm. Yet shooting with them has many advantages! The muzzle report and recoil are noticeably reduced. Both play a significant part in achieving better accuracy. The silencer provides less danger of hearing damage and the pain threshold of 130dB at the ear is rarely reached. Silencers significantly reduce the strain on the hearing of hunters and dogs, as the noise level is usually below the pain threshold of 130 dB at the ear.
Blaser R8 Silence
The construction of the R8 Silence is designed to protect the hearing of both hunter and dog. At any time and with every shot. Thanks to the even weight distribution of the entire barrel, the R8 Silence models provide the first-class balance and huntability that you are used with every R8 model. The outer contour of the barrel and the titanium silencer jacket boasts a smooth bull barrel design, giving the R8 Silence models their low weight and an extremely attractive overall appearance.
EFFICIENT DAMPENING POWER. REDUCED RECOIL. SLEEK DESIGN.
Baffle design and geometry is the heart of every silencer. It is largely responsible for reducing the recoil – and in combination with the large volume of the silencer – reducing the sound of the shot and protecting a shooter’s hearing. For the Blaser Integral Silencer (ISD), the geometry was optimized to the maximum diameter – while still maintaining the overall aesthetic of the rifle itself.
This allows the bullet to pass through the silencer without obstruction. With this high-strength material and its precise manufacturing – the problems with bullet striations and the resulting change in the point of impact are now a thing of the past.
The innovative design of the Blaser Integral Silencer allows for use of the entire length of the silencer as an expansion space for the powder gases – while maintaining its slim overall appearance. The inner tube of the Blaser Integral Silencer (ISD) contains and closes off the expansion chamber and keeps the gases from contacting the surface of the barrel itself. The barrel always remains clean and is reliably protected against powder residues, contamination and corrosive residues.
Reliable hearing protection – with every shot.
Lighter, more compact, more robust: The new Blaser B50Ti (over-barrel) and B43Ti (on-barrel) silencers not only offer noticeably better sound reduction, but also weigh over 30% less and are shorter in overall length than their predecessors. The hybrid construction consisting of a titanium core and aluminum outer shell also ensures maximum robustness, corrosion resistance, and easy maintenance.
The R8 Silence with integral silencer protects the hearing of hunter and dog. Always, with every shot. The weight of the silencer is distributed over the entire barrel length, which improves balance and swing behavior, making the rifle faster in the perfect firing position. Experience the R8 Silence in direct comparison with the R8 without integral silencer and see for yourself!
