What is the quietest, sneakiest gun to fire?

I've heard that silenced semi-auto handguns are, in truth, actually quite loud (because of the sound of the action as it is cycling the rounds). What do you think about exotic weaponry in this regard, like the soviet PSS pistol and its bizarre silent ammunition? Or even something like a pistol-crossbow?

Also, what is the *best* silenced-firearm, in your opinion? As in, what do you think is the quietest gun to also have a great balance of accuracy, firepower, range, reliability and/or whatever else you deem important qualities for such a gun to have?

Either a De Lisle or a Welrod

Are we confined to pistols? I own several silencers and the quietest by far is a bolt action 22 firing subsonic rounds. It sounds like a book closing.

Whats wrong with the silenced ammo-types, like the bullets fired by the PSS pistol? Why did no one ever end up using those?
>>
What about big-bore air rifles? Are they much louder than a suppressed 22?
>>
Quietest gun I have seen was a professional Integral job ( not sure which company ) on a 10/22. With subsonic ammo it was pretty much just the sound of the action and the impact of the bullet.

Same guy had a registered full auto ar with a ciner 22 upper and internal suppressor. It was not as quiet, but still pretty much like the movies.

I shot a bunch of supressed subguns too and that was. Well. Kinda loud.

in my experience, all types of air rifles tend to make a loud snap when they are fired

Though I have never seen an air rifle that was designed to be extra quiet. I guess they are considered "silent" enough already

the Girandoni Air Rifle was only as loud as a modern big bore air rifle, and could fire rifled minie balls at lethal velocities up to 30 times before needing more air. And this was in 1778, when everyone else was using shitty black-powder unrifled muskets that took a minute to reload.

There are brass catchers on the market. I don't know about velvet lined though.

I've only seen one before. JP Silent Captured Recoil spring for AR-15s.

Expensive and difficult to make.
Low power and range.
ATF has ruled that silenced cartridges are legally silencers themselves, so each and every one cartridge would require it's individual registration and tax stamp, like Destructive Device munitions.
>>
>>23399686
>Expensive and difficult to make.
Lol what, it's soviet gun. Cartridge is AK's 7.62x39 case with sealing cap and gas as proppelant.
>Low power and range.
Wrong. It is accurate as 9mm pistoles at 25 meters. Also at this distance full steel bullet penetrates 2mm of steel. I don't know how it works at farther distances, but why you need engage enemy with a pistol at 50 meters, especially when you are KGB agent or operator of special force unit.
Don't forget it is special purpose weapon, very light and compact, don't need silencer and has minimal chanse of malfunction unlike standart pistoles with underpowered cartridges for shooting with silencer.

>>
>>23398585
Not if you're on softer ground
>>
>>23398585
That isn't a priority when the gun, even suppressed, makes at least 85dB (which is the best you can get with a .22 btw).

Also for most applications it is better to use supersonic ammo as it makes it harder for the opponent to pinpoint your location even though it makes a nice 140dB sound.
>>
>>23400656
Seriously. How can anyone think anything other than a .22lr is the quietist caliber with a suppressor and a good load and a bolt action
>>
>>23398494
bolt action 44 mag/spc with low power loads going through a can on the end is about as close to movie quiet as someone can get for under $1K.
>>23398494
Stens were much more accessible and affordable while doing the same job.

The DeLisle suffers from being a 45 caliber gun, as such it's stuck around 120-125dB.
You can push a 300blk semiauto to 117-121dB if you wet the can and shoot subsonics (spoilers, don't shoot supers wet).
A .22lr bolt gun with a reputable can, wet, will easily be in the teens, and if you toss in some bullshit like aguila you won't hear fucking anything. Mostly because those don't use powder, but still. Might get a baffle strike on those, who knows.
>>
>>23398435
>I've heard that silenced semi-auto handguns are, in truth, actually quite loud (because of the sound of the action as it is cycling the rounds).

If its striker fired you can just put your thumb or palm of your off hand behind the slide. This will actually give a nastier contact wound since the gas used to cycle the action is instead vented out the muzzle.
>>
>>23398682
They were anemic and inaccurate as shit, only good for basically arms length assassinations. Also they were still fairly loud, like 125dB IIRC.
>>
>>23398435

it could be quieter if you shot some quiet .22 from it, though the rounds lethality might come into question.

Um, no.

Subsequent official firing tests recorded the De Lisle produced 85.5 dB of noise when fired.[6] As a comparison, modern testing on a selection of handguns has shown that they produce 156 to 168 dB when firing without a suppressor, and 117 to 140 dB when firing with one fitted.[7] The de Lisle's quietness was found to be comparable to the British Welrod pistol.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA IT'S THIS RETARD AGAIN
Hey, kid, look up that report. See if you can find how loud they rated the 9mm at.
Spoilers, it was hearing safe :-)

Modern equipment has rated the delisle at 120-125, varying on ammo used. I suggest you do more research next time.
>>
>>23401056
They aren't silenced they're sealed to trap gas and increase velocity. Works with the nagant design.
>>
>>23401064
I would reeeeeaaally like to see how they tested that

>>23401106

Or a very effective supressor.

The primary feature of the De Lisle was its extremely effective suppressor, which made it very quiet in action. So quiet, in fact, that working the bolt to chamber the next round makes a louder noise than firing a round.[11]

>>23401199
Your fucking face when 147grain 9x19 is perfectly good and usually subsonic by nature (as in not loaded down). Also it is audibly quieter because of the smaller volume of gasses and smaller bullet diameter.
>>
>>23401228
Looks like you still haven't read it, sport.
They tested both a regular unsuppressed sten (125dB) and a suppressed sten (89dB).

I suppose you want to cite sten guns as the quietest semiauto ever invented now too, huh?

Imagine this: a sort of weapon where compressed gas, perhaps in a cylinder, rapidly pushed a stout blade out, and this blade would be attached to a spring to pull it back in once the system is opened to outside pressure. The whole system of blade and gas chamber would be inside of another gas cylinder, with most of the gas evacuated. This evacuated chamber would serve in lowering recoil. There could be a mechanism which both compressed and evacuated both chambers, allowing it to be hand-charged.

>>23401617
Imagine a mechanism that ran off of ATP, in which a blade could be thrusted and withdrawn completely silently...
>>
>>23401617

For anyone who doesn't know, the decibel scale is logarithmic. Halving the sound pressure decreases the dB level by 3 dB. Doubling it increases by 3 dB. Doubling the distance from the source is a 6 dB change.
