@indyman12345LOL Suppressed firearms sound nothing like how the movies portray them. In terms of handguns a suppressed .45 is still extremely loud at 150+ dba with a loud bang, drop down to a 9mm and you'll get a loud snap but far more tolerable. It doesn't start getting super quiet until you transition to something like a rim fire .22LR caliber and even that is still quite audible. What also makes a difference is whether or not the suppressor is running wet or dry, as lubed is quieter than dry.

@indyman12345LOL chubbymcchuckle is right, movies portray silenced guns into ultra silent weapons. in real life, they still make some sound (different for everygun). the main idea for silencers is to let the gas created when you fire the weapon to expand and cool, reducing the 'snap' the gun makes when fired. also the silencers are made to transform the known gun sounds to something less reconizable, also to reduce muzzle flash.

Have you ever noticed...immediately after firing a fully automatic weapon at the 'range', there's always the same reaction? A HUGE smile and a laugh.

@silazcarbryck sorry for the late reply! I wasn't stating that you can change the calibre per se(though there are conversion kits for many firearms), just making the observation about the type of sound you might approximate from each. The sound a suppressed firearm makes will depend not only on the calibre but the rated velocity of the loading. A projectile traveling less than 1100ft/s doesn't break the sound barrier but the primer+powder still ignites a controlled explosion.

@ChubbyMcChuckle thank you finally who tells the truth!

@ChubbyMcChuckle Hi Chubby - I'm an independent film maker just setting up. I am currently amassing quite a lot of replica BB guns to use, and I want to get the sound effects just right. Please don't take the piss, as I don't really know much about real guns (I've only just started researching them) Out of interest, how is it that one can use different calibre rounds (as described here) in the same gun? I always thought one was limited to single calibre bullets depending on the type of gun used.

@xXHunter17Xx In very short much more easier explanation.Suppressors/Silenc­ers don't fully silence/suppress the weapons guns shots how ever its job is to not make the gun shot sound like a...gun shot.Also it eliminates the muzzle flash which is important to not giving away your position.

[depolarization]

Not an SD3, dude. SD3 has a retractable stock.

[qroxfire]

oh damn, it's actually surprisingly quiet. quieter than i thought it'd be.

[badfoody]

awesome, imagine if it started using subsonic ammo. that'll be real quiet

@indyman12345LOL it is silenced, the real gun is much much louder than this.. look it up on SAS mp5 video on youtube
