What is the point of a tank suppressor?
Silencers reduce firing recoil significantly, primarily by diverting and trapping the propellant gas.
What is the biggest tank in the world?

What is the difference between silencer and suppressor?

Can I put a silencer on a revolver?
Generally you cannot suppress a revolver because of the barrel/cylinder gap, too much gas escapes to allow for effective suppression.

What’s the purpose of a muffler in a tank?
The general idea of this type of muffler is to expand the propellant gases into an appropriate tank and store the gas there until pressure and motion are low enough that they can leave the tank in a steady subsonic flow into the surrounding air.
