I own a few suppressors now and have shot several. They are fun but nothing like the movies. I still wear ear protection when I use them and they still sound like a gunshot even suppressed and with ear protection.
Some of the .22s can be very quiet but a 60gr bullet at 1000fps with no BC has kind of a limited utility. As powerful as airguns are these days (and those also having silencers built in), the air rifle is probably close in effectiveness with much less regulatory hassle.
