Silencers make the shot less loud, so it still drew less attention that it would have without a silencer becuse it sounded less like a gunshot and the sound didn’t carry as far.
I’ve heard speculation that subsonic ammunition was probably used which would have made a silencer much more effective. That might explain the apparent misfires that had to be cleared, if the gun wasn’t designed for subsonic. I don’t know if this actually makes sense or not.
Silencers don’t work. That shot was heard 'round the world.

Yup, my tired ass completely wiffed the punchline.

Ah, that be a rare double troll. Bravo.
