    A suppressor on a subsonic .22 caliber gun is about as close to movie/video game quiet as you can expect. There is still variation, but subsonic ammo eliminates the “crack” from the sonic boom (comes from the bullet itself), and the suppressor reduces the muzzle noise a lot. In person I’ve heard one suppressed subsonic .22, and it was about the level of a good clap. 👏

      When shoot subsonic suppressed 22lr, you hear the click of the action and the bullet whizzing down the range. It’s crazy.
