I berated someone recently for using ‘silencer’ as opposed to ‘suppressor’.

Feel free to 'berate' Hiram Maxim. He invented the things, and he called his invention a 'silencer'.

I'll take his word over yours as to what they should be called.

“The Maxim Silencer” does roll off the tongue better than “The Maxim Suppressor”.
