      Depends…22lr with sub rounds. Sure. .45? No. Suppressors help with noise reduction but do not eliminate it to were you can not use ear pro. Caliber matters greatly, but %100 the pistol used in this being a 9mm was not as quiet as someone clapping their hands.

          That too. Plus if someone is in their car, windows up, radio on. They’re not hearing that shit.

        I didn’t say it was as quiet as someone clapping their hands, just that it sounds like that.
        If you don’t have experience with guns, you probably won’t identify the sound as a gunshot.

          Ah, fair enough, and yes you’re correct. Most people wouldn’t be able to tell it apart when at a distance and not seeing an actual firearm produce the sound.
