[QUOTE="Smoke, post: 5784157, member: 3324"] Movies have given a lot of people the wrong perception of how a suppressed weapon sounds. If you shoot subsonic you can get get a really quietly fired weapon. I shoot supersonic rounds. You still get the crack from bullet but it takes away most of the loud boom that goes along with it. My bolt 308s sound more like a 22 or 22 mag now. Used to have a farm that a subdivision was built on back side. Every time I shot a deer someone would call the police. After getting suppressor it didn't happen anymore. One time I missed a buck at 50 yards in the woods. He had no clue what happened and gave me another shot. I've called in coyotes and missed that run off but can't tell what was going on and came back into the call. I shot a buck couple years ago that dropped immediately. The other buck with him had no clue and kept feeding in the field. It's nice not having to worry about going deaf if I get into several coyotes or hogs. I shot 4 coyotes one time over the course of an hour. 3 singles and 1 triple came in that would have never happened if I wasn't suppressed. Second one I shot I stood up and saw 2 more 50 yards from it and sat back down to keep shooting. Is it aggravating to get one, yes. Is it worth it, most definitely. [/QUOTE]
