You will probably get more and better response in the "Full Auto" section.

Suppressors (technical name) aren't "illegal" in war. Spec-Ops use them all the time, and I believe they are starting to be used by some regular troops.

Revolvers aren't easy to suppress because of the barrel/cylinder gap.

Suppressors are NFA. You must get Fed and local approval to own. Same basic rules as for owning a full-auto weapon. If the local jurisdiction approves, and you are legally able to buy other firearms, you fill out the forms, then pay the $200 tax (+cost of suppressor), wait for approval and you become the proud owner.
