Granted that noise was nowhere near the sound of a unsuppressed rifle, and part of the reason why it stuck out so much for me was due to the surprise of it. But if I was going for as quiet as possible it would be a bolt action or break action rifle; however, those lack the utility of a semiautomatic rifle for follow up shots. I still need to get a can one day.
Even with a bolt you will get two clicks.
Even when working with one of the most effective suppressed weapons, the MP5SD (which is amazingly quiet) when you eliminate this you simply notice that. While the bolt chatter wasn't extreme, you really noticed the brass hitting the deck and the rounds hitting the backstop.
It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.
Chuck, we miss ya man.
