What's the quietest commercially available firearm (setup)?

Pic NOT related, as the PSS silent pistol is impossible to get your hands on (especially in the West)

If you're interested anyway though:

A suppressed .22 rifle with a slide lock, loaded with subsonics. The meme answer is de lisle (repros exist), but I personally find it hard to believe they were as quiet as literature suggests

may not the quietest but really close to it

>>29719816
why not a bolt or slide action rifle with the action tight and lubed to be silkly quiet?

i cant imagine getting much quieter then this

>>29719794
Ran .22 pistol shorts through a friend's suppressed anschutz - only sound was the click of the firing pin and the thud of the round hitting dirt.

My mistake, what I intended would be bolt-action in English.
Semi cant really get that quiet, the impact of the bolt closing is noisy by nature even with padding.

Pair it with a folding stock and it gets even better.

I might do this if and when I get around to buying a 10/22

I think I know why the IS Sten and the DL carbine were said to be so quiet.

This sounds like a shitty explanation but hear me out

>both guns are legitimately quite quiet
>nobody gave a shit about earpro
>people in the military or regular shooters only people to handle the guns or see them fired and want to document how they sounded
>gun sounds a lot more heavily suppressed due to hearing loss
>>
>>29719851
The first time I watched the hickok video on the silenced Ruger American, I legitimately didn't notice him firing it into the dirt as he spoke and felt like a retard.

>This sounds like a shitty explanation but hear me out

No no, that's actually a pretty damn good explanation. You can also factor in the acute hearing damage caused by the pings of M1 garands, especially for the Germans.

>>29719816
De Lisle decibel tests were done with shitty sound meters that have trouble getting the peak amplitude of a gunshot because of the short time.

Modern suprressors are way more efficient.

.22 is the most silent.

A quality .22 pistol with a suppressor.
>>
Why are .22 supressors always so small? Is there a limit to how much more effective more volume is?

I would think by having an eccentric supressor with 2x the diameter you could go a lot quieter.

>>29719794

A cheap .22LR or .32 ACP pistol with a suppressor (homemade or privately purchased) makes for an excellent murder weapon.

Of course, the bullet just bounces around in the skull

No, not quite, but I see what you're doing there.

Usually just exits or curves along the exiting side.
