Washer/Spacer Suppressors
These types of suppressors utilize a baffle system that looks mostly like a washer from a bolt and a spacer made out of tubing between each one. These shave off the explosive high velocity gasses a little at a time. These suppressors are made very cheaply and can be repaired in a matter of minutes. The tubing or case is very rarely damaged. It is most likely the internals and they are easily fixed.
Some types of these suppressors have the washer and baffle made together in a form of cup. This cup does the same thing as the washers. Shave off the explosive gasses.
