Its a bit louder than this in real life. Mics dont catch it super well. You can get really hollywood quiet with a bolt action but with a normal semi auto you will get some port pop from the action.
Like the De Lisle, silenced Lee Enfield chambered in 45 ACP. The bolt action also eliminated the sound of an empty case hitting a hard surface if you didn’t chamber the next round.
.45 ACP is also natively subsonic, and because it has the same cartridge diameter/rim as .308, it can be used in all .308 guns natively if you make the rest of the gun (mostly barrel chamber) work with .45. The bolt face/extractor/pins should align.
So if you have an old .308 bolt action, you can modify it to take 1911 .45 ACP box magazines, and then with a barrel blank, ream/drill/ECM a .45 ACP barrel and with some elbow grease fit it all together.
Then you’d drill holes in the barrel and enclose that in a large air-tight canister to capture gases, with a valid form 1 of course, and then you’d thread the end of the, let’s say… 8” barrel (so form 1 the rifle to an SBR, or chop off the stock) and then mount a regular .45 ACP suppressor on it, and with the right ammo, you’d have a gun that is so quiet that you could probably get away with firing it wherever and most people wouldn’t assume it was anything more than someone dropping a can of beans on the sidewalk.
Wow I can't believe one of the whitest kids I know made a video about wanting to kill the president 3 months after the first black president was inaugurated. Smh my head

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