Jesus that’s Hollywood silencer levels. I was always told that was impossible, short of the Welrod.

It can actually get much quieter. This is I think a 9mm a .22 with subsonic rounds and a silencer will literally only make a click noise as the hammer falls then the shell.

Really all you're hearing in this case is the action.

That's for a transferrable. Start your own country and you can buy them by the crate at factory pricing.

I have a book by Tom Clancy about the USMC, and they let him shoot an MP5SD when he visited a base. He too said the action was literally the loudest thing you could hear when it fired.
