muzzle
Firearm's front end
A muzzle is the projecting part of an animal's face—the snout, nose, and jaws together: The dog pushed its muzzle into my hand.
A muzzle is also a device strapped over an animal's mouth to prevent biting.
The front end of a gun barrel is its muzzle.
To muzzle someone is to silence or restrain their speech: The administration tried to muzzle the press.
