Silencers are very badly named honestly. A “silenced” gun is still very loud, it’s just moderately quieter than an unsilenced one. People watch movies and TV shows and play videogames that make it seem like a silenced gun barely makes any noise at all and think that’s reality. That is very much not reality, it just makes for a more entertaining story.
Are you telling me a silenced gun doesn’t make a sneaky zipping sound? It can’t be true.
Pew Pew!
Subsonic rounds though! I’ve seen videos of subsonic 9mm and .22LR where all you heard was the action cycling.
I don’t have a suppressor, but I got some subsonic .22LR to play with. Couldn’t tell any difference.
I could be full of it… but I think that’s because those rounds are intended to travel below the sonic boom threshold resulting in less noise when using a suppressor.
