Subsonic .22 and a suppressor gives almost no sound.
Says the assassin
That's BS there's still a 100db pop. In a city that might be hard to distinguish but that's not no sound.
Why do you ask outside of a gun range? What other places do you typically hear gun fire?
‘Nam.
I grew up in a semi-rural area. It wasn't uncommon to hear people shooting things in the woods.
Also rural and have heard quite a bit of gunfire. Heard it when I lived in the city, too. Just less often and lower caliber. I was also in Iraq... But some people just call that a bidirectional range.
It can be quieter than you would expect.
Agreed, but these in particular were pretty loud, so it would've been really hard not to have heard them.
