The loud "crack" you hear would be the sonic boom of the bullet breaking the sound
barrier.  While is is not as loud as the weapon it is loud enough, I  still need
hearing protection to prevent damage if you are inspecting the targets, down
range, if the range has a bunker set up.

5.56mm N 7.62mm N 7.62mm X 39 and 5.45mm WP all exceed the speed of sound @ 1080
FPS at sea level.  Most pistol rounds do also, so the silencer would have a speed
reducer, to slow the bullet down.  This would in lower the effectiviness of the
weapon.  .45 is ideal for silenced weapons because it never exceeds the speed of
sound.  The game dose not however incorporate this.  To silence a rifle you would
need to slow the bullet down to almost ineffective speed.  The game dose not have
crossbows or bows, like it should either.

gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise
and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that
nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your
gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks."
