Wonder why video games make us think a suppressor makes a gun completely silent

That literal "pew pew" sound silencers make in games and movies is ridiculous. What even is that sound?

This guy must be using a defective silencer. It sounds about as loud as the gun without one. Maybe if you have the right kind of silencer it actually will work

They sound like loud pops instead of having the depth of regular gunshots.

They are quiet enough to fire in a suburban neighborhood without drawing attention though.

What games make you think suppressors completely slience a gun? In the games I play It usually makes you not show up on the map/radar when you shoot, but you can still hear it.

In most cases, the difference between having and not having a suppressor is "Hey, someone might have just fired a gun," versus "Someone just fired a gun, and they're right over there."

There are like 4 potentially sounds from a gun, suppressor only addresses 1 of them.
you have the explosion, which is what is suppressed. You have the action of the gun, the cartridge ejecting, and the bullet flying. The gun in the video is a 9mm, which is normally a supersonic load. So you are hearing the bullet breaking the speed of sound and the action of the gun in that video.

something like a .45, while a bigger round, will get more benefit from a suppressor since most of those rounds are subsonic.

He used subsonic ammo.

I also want to point out there was a pretty significant difference in volume. It sounds about as loud as cracking a whip.

Honestly when he was hitting the metal thing with the suppressor on. I heard the metal thing over the weapon. That alone can make a huge difference. If certain sounds can override the guns sound, someone listening to music or watching something probably wont even hear it. The sound difference is pretty damn huge. But yes it doesnt make the gun completely silent.

Even the best silencers reduce noise only by about 30 dB or so, so from roughly 160 dB to 130 dB - just under the 140 dB pain threshold.

That's why I always like to grab shotguns with slugs in games. More damage, more range, more better.

Insurgency had an amazing shotgun. could still hit stuff 75-100m away with buckshot (tho might have taken several shots to kill someone).

Because nobody wants to play a game where you have one gun that's ear splittingly loud and then a suppressor for that gun that just makes it slightly less ear blisteringly loud

Shotguns do have a shorter range than a rifle. Buckshot is effective <50yrds

Not as short as video games make them, but that is usually to make up for the high damage.

Now, I don't know about guns, or suppressors, but I found what appears to be special forces level gear here if it's legit.
