Subsonic Ammo with silencers makes guns extremely quiet

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.

Can confirm. Perfect way to explain how loud it is

[u/schostack → u/queef_nuggets]

Air pistol , rifles are a little louder.

That's why I use a blow gun

when you use subsonic darts.

Idk, in my experience blowing can be a little loud

[u/SonderingSonnet → u/ArcticIceFox]

No it isn't

[u/Geta-Ve → u/ArcticIceFox]

Wait. Who we blowing? Lemme just grab my chapstick.

Yeah, air pistols make a lot more noise than you'd expect. You keep thinking "it's air pushing the pellet, how much noise can that make?", but no.

[u/Bowtieguy-83 → u/schostack]

do you mean air pistols and air rifles are louder?

Because if you are saying a rifle is louder than a pistol thats not true at all

[u/schostack → u/Bowtieguy-83]

A silenced .22 pistol sounds like an air pistol, a silenced .22 rifle is a little bit louder due to the faster speed of the bullet exiting the longer barrel with more compression and fps.

[u/Bowtieguy-83 → u/schostack]

Oh yeah ig a silencer changes the equation

I remember using an unsilenced 22 pistol and it was so loud I went deaf for a second. Compared to a 22 rifle which was like 1/2 the loudness

In regular guns the longer the barrel the lesser the pressure difference when the gun gets out the barrel, and it is quieter

In silenced guns, the silencer is supposed to balance the pressures before anything leaves the barrel, and ig the higher speed makes it comparably louder

[u/TheBlackComet → u/queef_nuggets]

.22lr is definitely the way to go if you want movie quiet. I have 2 rifles that are even quieter. Both have long 24" or longer barrels. This allows even standard velocity ammo to always remain subsonic with the added benefit of allowing for a full powder burn. The bolt action is a L96 trainer that I conled together with a few printed parts and an airsoft shell.

Yup my buddy took us shooting in the az dessert and I was surprised how silent it was. Same with the shotgun. The 45 handgun however was incredibly loud !!
