loving you always ♥
Here's a simple/N00b explanation on how Suppressors work but if you want a more detailed answer Google it :P. A sound suppressor, often known as silencers, is a device attached to the barrel of the firearm to reduce muzzle flash as well as sound. However, they do not eliminate 50% of the noise or completely reduces the sound from firing from the gun. They are normally cylindrical shaped with various mechanism in it which reduces flash and sound by slowing the escaping gas and the bullet's velocity. And, Silencers are used to quiet down the "explosion" in the barrel and not quieting the sound of the bullet as it escapes the barrel.
In games like
There are 2 types of ammunition which are present today, They are the Sub and supersonic ammunition. Supersonic ammunition are commonly used and they make a "crack" sound when it travels in the air. This is due to the velocity of the bullet.
While, subsonic bullets are also used not only for military covert operations, but for animal control officers and others who need to use a nearly silent or legal suppressed firearm to avoid alarming other animals, upsetting nearby livestock, or bothering the neighbors. Sometimes the use of a suppressed weapon in civilian animal control situations is politically wise, as it allows the necessary use of firearms without attracting undue attention from irrational activist groups. Subsonic bullets in legal suppressed firearms are also fun to shoot for target practice, eliminating the sonic crack that requires hearing protection, disturbs neighbors, and frightens livestock. So if you used a Subsonic bullet with a suppressor. That's where the game comes to reality. (or i think it would? lol)
Here's a demonstration of a .308 subsonic and supersonic Winchester ammunition fired 3 of each from a suppressed Remington 700 rifle.
