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

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

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.

But wait there's more
>Integrally suppressed
That Shits pretty dope

Idiot.

Fuck you, asshole

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.

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.

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.
>>29719794
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.

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.
Anybody want story time?

Usually just exits or curves along the exiting side.
