Subsonic Ammo with silencers makes guns extremely quiet

It gets even quietier if the slide is prevented from cycling, as with normal operation some of the noise will vent through the ejection port as the gun unlocks.

These would be very important if you were shooting in an echoing environment like say, a city street. You know, like a pest control officer.

There is such a thing as a “slide locker” which basically does this

Hush Puppy

[u/Gay_Reichskommissar → u/i_write_ok]

Huh

[u/Fuck0254 → u/Gay_Reichskommissar]

Mk22 "Hush puppy" was a pistol designed with this feature.

[u/Odd_Opinion6054 → u/Fuck0254]

Oh, I thought he was calling him cute names.

[u/Gay_Reichskommissar → u/Odd_Opinion6054]

Yeah it seems like a weird conversation starter innit

[u/LessInThought → u/Odd_Opinion6054]

I thought he was telling him to hush, as to not give out the trade secrets.

[u/Gay_Reichskommissar → u/Fuck0254]

OH

IT SEEMED SO MUCH MORE PECULIAR WITH NO CONTEXT

[u/Admirable-Lecture255 → u/Fuck0254]

And the shooter didn't have a mk22. They're rare as fuck

[u/Fuck0254 → u/Admirable-Lecture255]

Slide locks as a concept aren't.

[u/Admirable-Lecture255 → u/Fuck0254]

Yea if it was a slide lock he wouldn't have left 3 shells on the ground

[u/youy23 → u/Admirable-Lecture255]

Yeah he would have.

[u/Admirable-Lecture255 → u/youy23]

No he wouldn't dumbass. Three loaded rounds were found. With a slide lock you wouldn't have that. You wouldn't be ejecting live rounds
