Actually silencer wont affect bullet speed at all. 820 was and maybe 825 with silencer. +/- 1mps

But the noise... separated for two parts - shooting noise and bullet flying/sonic-clap noise.

Once bullet reach sonic speed - we hear louder clap, that could not be hidden with silencer.
To reduce that effect - people use undersonic bullets, that actually fly on 300-400 mps instead of 1000. Thats why we have a legend that silencer reduces flying speed.

Real encourage:

  • Without silencer:
    -- actor/shooter: louder shooting clap (160db), actor gets confused, "sound muffing" effect, and wont hear other sounds
    -- target/enemy: first hear bullet hit to the surface, then hear clap and actually direction where bullet reach sonic speed, then hears lowered but shared by time sound of firing

  • With silencer, supersonic bullets:
    -- actor/shooter: reduced louder clap, so actor hears clap of bullet (total 110-130db)
    -- target/enemy: first hear bullet hit to the surface, then hear clap and actually direction where bullet reach sonic speed, and thats all

  • With silencer, undersonic bullets:
    -- actor/shooter: reduced louder clap (total maybe 80db at shooting point, at 100 meters almost no sounds)
    -- target/enemy:
    --- close distance: first hear the reduced louder clap, then bullet flying noise, then hit surface.
    --- long distance: first hear bullet flying noise, then hit surface.
