    Worth noting that while a nail gun is pretty loud (if you’ve ever been around them without hearing protection), it’s still nothing on being near an unsuppressed gunshot. If you’ve never been up close when even a pistol is shot, it’s much louder then you’re imagining, and louder still than you’ve just adjusted your imagination to. Rifles are louder again.

      I know someone who has a suppressed, large caliber rifle which makes less noise firing than most rifles do racking. It’s really impressive what a well -designed suppression system can do with heavy subsonic ammo.
