If you are talking about handguns, I agree. Using subsonic .22s, the 26"
barrel on my .22 pump action rifle absorb the noise due to the length of the
barrel to the point it is virtually silent. All I can hear is the hammer
hitting the receiver and just the faintest of noise from the muzzle. Any
distance, such as next door, this would be completely silent. I have had
pellet guns and they make a rather sharp popping noise on firing. A pellet
gun would definitely be heard next door.
