    And .22lr subsonic really is movie quiet

    “Movie quiet” would be so quiet that you can shoot the gun next to someone in a library and nobody would look up. Nothing is that quiet. Even if you were dry firing with no rounds at all, the “click” would be so loud that it would draw a lot of attention.

    A realistic movie take on a gun with subsonic ammunition and a silencer would be one where if someone was shooting, people would be looking around for the source of the clicking / snapping sound but not worried about guns because the sound is so unlike a gun that it wouldn’t register to them as a gun.
