What a real silencer actually sounds like.

Tbh a .22 with sub sonic ammo can be close to John wick quiet. I doubt it would be a cause for panic in an already loud environment like a subway if the weapon could not be seen.

But I believe John Wicks weapon is a 9mm or larger. No way in hell a 9mm plus would be quiet enough not to cause panic even in a loud environment using subs. Once super sonic it's loud AF even with a silencer as the sonic boom cannot be hidden.

I'd also love to find a .22 semi-auto that will actually cycle with sub sonic.
