    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.
