Not only can they suppress a wide variety of calibers, but they can also be mounted on a variety of host platforms. Typically suppressors are specialized to fit specific platforms best, limiting their use on different firearms. Multi caliber silencers are designed to accommodate most of the needs of each platform and give the best of both worlds.
