I hear the silencer one a lot, and although it’s not nearly as quiet as media likes to suggest, they can be much quieter than you expect. There are a lot of variables to play with when it comes to guns and noise.
My neighbor at camp handed me his silenced .22 loaded with subsonic ammo. All I could hear was the action moving back and forth. So clear, I realized I had heard that exact sound because I have the same gun in a different form!
OTOH, it’s impossible to get a significantly silent supersonic round down to “quiet”, not even close. And none y’all better steal my new band name!
Shame most Americans take the term “silencer” literally. We’ll never see sane legislation. Meanwhile, in Europe, I’m told some ranges mandate suppressors, and at best, you’re considered a douche canoe blasting away without one.
Going to bite the bullet (heh) and get one on my AR when I can afford (and have time to figure out the tiresome paperwork and fees). The noise is stunning and I’d like to be more considerate of my country neighbors.
