That is true, and I believe the whole thing comes from the fact that few sound suppressing devices actually make a gun's report completely slient.

the first time I've heard a REAL suppressor fired, I was surprised by the still semi loud sound, but still had the confidence to keep my ears off.

You'll notice though that when ballistic analysts check firearms with suppressors in indoor ranges, they still wear hearing protection. That's because if the suppressor fails, they are going deaf.

I was outside the first time I heard suppressors. In the indoor range, the only other suppressed weapon I saw was a Walther P22. this was also the place I first got a feel for a Sten gun
