    Actually you can prevent a bullet from breaking the sound barrier. It is called “sub-sonic” ammunition. Bullets made to intentionally go below Mach-1. Traveling fast enough to do damage, but slow enough to not cause a sonic boom.

    “Silencers” aren’t for stealth, they’re primarily for hearing protection. By the way, nobody calls them “silencers” anymore. They’re generally called suppressors, since they don’t actually silence the sound of gun fire.

      You can reduce the SPL (sound pressure level) by adding a "wipe" into the suppressor. The "wipe" is 1/8" thick heat-resistant rubber with an X cut into it and is placed between last baffle and exit port. It is only good for about 10 rounds before needing replacement, but it will make a suppressor "movie quiet"...!!!

    There are many ways to prevent a bullet from breaking the sound barrier. Use subsonic loads. They are widely available for many calibers out there and for heavy slower moving rounds like the .45acp and .22lr it is easy to suppress the sound close to Hollywood levels. Besides the stealth that suppressors offer another reason that the military is looking into adopting them is because of the hearing damage that they can help prevent when soldiers are fighting indoors. As any person that has been to an indoor shooting range or stood next to someone shooting a rifle with a muzzle break those sounds can be deafening even with hearing protection. If you are interested in a rifle that is actually quieter than what they show in the movies I advise you to look up the Russian Vss Vintorez. It was supposedly developed for the Spetsnaz as an assassination weapon. It shoots 9X39 which was developed from the SKS and AK47 round the 7.62X39. Also check out the Welrod. It was a pistol developed by the British for covert operations and assassinations during WWII.

Subsonic would mostly be utilized in a CQB environment almost exclusively, and if you look over the military specifications for infantry munitions, youll find there is no documentation on subsonic ammunition. SOCOM has indeed used subsonic for covert ops for years, use in military service probably dating back decades but has never been normalized as there is no large scale demand nor requirement. In the infantry role, it almost exclusively applies to 9x19 and 5.56, with lesser representation in 300 AAC and .308

    Silencers and vehicle mufflers have some things in common although their designs are somewhat different--maintaining the speed of the exhaust isn't a priority, and no solids are ejected.

    Not all ammo is supersonic, the 45ACP for example (used with the MK23 for example) is subsonic, this (MK23) was used as primary weapon for special forces as the 45 packs a mean punch but since it is subsonic is easier to be suppressed (not silenced, you will still hear a distinct sound).

    As of September 2021, movie level suppressors are now a thing. After about 10 to 15 shots you have to take them apart and replace these soft wax-like plastic baffles, and you have to use subsonic rounds, of course. A large caliber round just below supersonic still has an astonishing amount of energy. This technology has developed rapidly and recently. A lot of stuff that was impossible 5 years ago, is actually possible now.

    There is a way to stop the sonic boom. Using subsonic ammo. If you wanted to keep using supersonic ammo though, you could do something like what the MP5SD does, having a system that reduces the bullet's speed below sound barrier.

    So, first off, subsonic rounds exist.
    Second, you can make a subsonic load for a cartridge.
    Third, subsonic rounds aren't commonly used due to a lack of power.
    Fourth, depending on your recoil spring, you may need to swap out for a weaker recoil spring.
    Fifth, have a nice day.

      @rwsthedemonking no, because a smaller bullet traveling faster can impart more force.

    The biggest expert I know said that when firing a weapon, hand held, it's three sounds you hear. The metal slamming into itself, which is pretty loud, but no bang. Then of course the powder deflegrating, and gasses expanding, but the highest bang is the bullet breaking the sound barrier. So with sub sonic ammunition, you would get that movie pop. He demonstrated it with an ar.

    The OSS tried to make a super silenced .45 ACP auto during WWII. The barrel had numerous small holes along much of it's length, a silencer on the end of the barrel, and used stacked metal mesh washers to construct the receiver. It was very quiet, described like the sound of a kitchen match being struck. The velocity of the bullet was much reduced of course, but it was meant for close-up work. Unfortunately, the racket raised by the slide and bolt working was so loud the gun was useless for it's intended job. Sot hey switched to a single-shot pistol.
