SIONICS

SIONICS (acronym for Studies In the Operational Negation of Insurgents and Counter-Subversion) was an American company producing firearm suppressors.

Later, WerBell began work on designs for a low cost, efficient suppressor for machine guns.

They added Werbell's suppressor to Ingram's SMG and attempted to market it to the U.S. military for use in the Vietnam War.

[4] To obtain capital for manufacturing, Werbell solicited 29 investors for 7 million dollars each into a holding company called Quantum Ordnance Bankers.

The efforts to sell to the military failed and Werbell lost control of the company.
