We need a silenced weapon!

[paddy o'pikey]

I swear it is soooo frustrating when you just want to shoot things and let off one round then all of a sudden the same message 'dispatch we have a firearm discharge' or whatever. They best have one in DLC!

If they don't i suggest you stalk through Rockstar's offices with your silenced weapon shooting all the low level employees, just to show the developers you can get to them

And then they could easily record the noise of a silenced pistol and implement it in-game because he has one.

[Tony Mozzarelli 80]

Indeed, that's thinking outside the box

[CharmingCharlie]

Yeah but but but it doesn't fit Niko's character/not realistic/is too gangsta delete where applicable. It is one of the things I am amazed at, that there isn't a single silenced weapon in the entire game. There is absolutely NO valid reason for there not being a silenced pistol at least. However I am sure the zealots will come in and give us a good laugh as to why there are no silenced weapons in the game.

[notgtajerk]

silenced combat pistol with a decapitation animation would make my day.

[hunterelf]

That annoyed me when I was shooting the pigeons. It wasn't until after I shot them all I thought it would have been worth trying to stab them with the knife.

 

 

[wer is infernus?]

We really need this, and why wouldn't it fit with niko? Wouldn't an illegal immigrant want as little attention on him as possible?

 

I really need this on Undress To Kill The manager in the back room needs to die in one shot. sure you can clip him with a bat, but one shot should be enough! and i woulnd't mind another stealth mission.

Can't you punch the pigeons to death? Just knock it out with a killer blow then stamp it to death or something like that?

No you must shoot the little [email protected] or blow them up. I went on the flying rat thing in my game and actually died many times because the cops yell at me, then I shoot at them, then, after a long chase, some old lady runs me over.

No such thing as a silencer on a combat pistol(Desert Eagle) because it's .50 cal and that's like saying they should have silencers on the .50 caliber machine guns atop of military hummers...

[RidingHigh]

There's an early screenshot with Niko in an elevator with a silenced pistol. Wonder why R* took it out.

The same reason they took away the fingerless gloves?

Man, I really hope so. Before the game was released, there was one shot of Niko standing in an elevator and what appeared to be a silenced pistol in one of his hands. Now thinking back , it must have been an MP10 , but I was sooooo disappointed when I realized there were none. In the DLC, they should include a silencer for most weapons ( like the glock, M4,Uzi, MP10 , AK, shotgun ( a la "No country for old men" ) and for the sniper riffle ). Is that really too much to ask for ?

I don't think he ever said "Desert Eagle" he implied a Combat Pistol which can be any manner of pistol and yes Combat Pistols do have suppressors :-

At any rate I think we can all safely say that it was a hell of an oversight by Rockstar to not include a silenced weapon in the game. There is simply NO reason to not include a silenced 9mm. If anything the game would have a lot more depth and it would have opened up another avenue to completing missions.

[ahmad34]

even if you have silenced gun and shoot someone in the open, people will see your arm stick out and someone fall. Put two and two together, you shot that person and bam they call 911 so it doesnt matter unless your in a back alley with just you and the other person

[Niall_S]

Thought Silenced weapons didn't exist?

 

They only conceal muzzle flash and supress the sound?

Either way, someone will still hear, call the police and same situation.

[illspirit]

Barring small, subsonic rounds in the .22 to .380 range, "silencers" aren't really silent. Especially on a rifle rounds which make little sonic booms as they travel..

 

Given all the work they put into the weapons this time, they probably didn't want to spoil the realism with a bullsh*t, Hollywood-style suppressor. Well, that, and a silent silencer would have probably thrown off the gameplay balance now that sound plays a larger role in AI. Most of the missions are easy enough as it is. If you could quickly kill a dozen people without anyone hearing it to call police, it would be too easy.

Yes, "silencers" are technically "suppressors"; they don't SILENCE the weapon, they just supress the flash, and the sound is (greatly) decreased.

 

If you were on top of a building, say three or four stories, and you shot someone in the back of the head, with nobody SEEING you do it, chances are nobody would hear it either.

Oh they could, but it would only work for about two magazines then it would be worn to nothing.

[wer is infernus?]

It would be pretty hard to hear a silenced gunshot in a busy city... and even harder to see a gunman in a dark alley....

[Mr_Prickles]

That's not the real problem here. Putting a suppressor on a Desert Eagle would be extremely ineffective because the barrel doesn't protrude from the gun, thus, easily installing a suppressor would be automatically crossed out.

 

Also, adding to the factor of being heard even with a suppressor, yes, you would be heard, possibly for a couple hundred meters, but don't forget to count in ambient noise (cars passing, conversations, L-Trains rolling around), and the fact that a suppressed gunshot does not sound the same as a normal gunshot. A small caliber coupled with a good silencer can reduce the noise to that of a staple gun.

 

I've got a friend who's uncle is a Detective, and I visited a range with them (didn't get to shoot, though), and gunshots sound NOTHING like staple guns.
