👉 A delayed weapon, also known as a delayed-action weapon or flash suppressor, is a type of firearm that reduces the intensity of its ejected projectiles, particularly bullets, by using a chamber filled with a propellant material that is ignited after the bullet has left the barrel. This delay, typically ranging from a few milliseconds to a few seconds, allows the weapon to suppress the sound and visual impact of the firing, making it less detectable by both human senses and surveillance equipment. The delayed action helps to minimize noise and reduce the risk of alerting potential targets or witnesses, making it a valuable feature for stealth operations and law enforcement.
