- Depends on the type of gun, ammo used, ETC. Most are not really silent, just reduced in sound. Most people who have never fired a real gun in their lives have no idea how LOUD they are. Silencers generally work best if it's in a loud area (like a battlefield or there's a lot of ambient noise), or if you want to give the illusion that you're further away than the bad guys think you are (why else put silencers on rifles?).
IMHO the quietest SMG is the MP5SD series, but that's because the silencer is part of the gun. And even then you can hear it go "TACK-TACK-TACK" loudly enough. It's not like you can go MGS/Splinter Cell on someone in real life. Also, most silenced weapons usually require subsonic ammunition--no point in silencing the shot when the bullet cracks the sound barrier (and depending on the quality of the silencer). I think most legally owned silencers in the US are mainly purchased to reduce gunfire sounds to bearable levels--EG it won't let you sneak around, but at least you won't make a horrible racket when shooting for fun.

Being a guy from the military, I have seen and heard a silenced rifle being fired before. It's not quite silenced as people would think.
Given the user's proximity, you can even hear the gunshot from behind a wall. EDIT: Changes, changes everywhere... And I keep coming up with strange names o.O Spoiler for 105:

Lulz at the refurbished unit
I was thinking which is better between two-barrel 18mm rifle or single 30mm cannon for Rito's replacement weapon. 127mm recoiles gun sure are overkill, but being a single shot weapon and having low ammo capacity made a lot of problems.

The sound also will not 'echo' if you're in a cramped room complexes, such as inside mafia HQ....

Then again, there is a reason why I picked "105" in the first place.

Unless the bullet somehow weak enough to bounce without breaking a bone or two and traumatized internal organ in process, nope.
This is the principle of nonlethal bullet BTW, and they still kill people if hit the right spot at close range.
