On suppressors: there are some weapons that are really fucking quiet with subsonic ammo (usually .300 AAC or .45 ACP)

Some of these have suppressors built around the barrel, like the De Lisle carbine, which was a special operations weapon in WW2 based off the Lee-Enfield rifle, but chambered in .45 ACP.

note the sound difference between the round firing, the steel plate ringing from the impact, and the bolt working. I'd wager the bolt is almost as loud as the round!

Is there a difference in SC with sound levels for subsonic vs supersonic ammo? And would that matter on planets with different atmospheres?

Edit: seeing that gun reminds me of NOLF... ah, what a great game that was, I miss it.
I don't have info if SC has sub and supersonic ammo, but I remember the devs talking about making weapon sounds more realistic, as in distance makes a difference to what it will sound like. So it won't be just the same "bang" sound when you are at 10feet and when you are at 1000feet away from the gun firing.
I don't think they will go as deep as different atmospheres having different effects on ammo, probably too much work for not much noticeable difference?
Can you currently hear someone else firing while both of you are in EVA?

You can hear shots in EVA. Your own are about 1/100 the sound, which mimics sound transmitted through contact with the weapon and your suit.

You should not be able to hear shots that don't strike you or come from you, but you can. Sometimes entertainment trumps real world physics.

There is an SC explanation for that - Ships and other systems use light to detect vibration, analyze it and simulate the sound of that event, so a canon vibrating from a shot being fired means you can hear it even in a zero sound transmission area.

As light travels faster than sound, I suppose depending on the range that this works on, you might be able to hear a sound in atmosphere before the sound waves reach you...?

Friends at FB are asking me what I think the best FPS loadout. I don't think there is one, but for indoor use, and .85 movement (often enough), I like this because I generally choose the weapon that kills fastest and I like stealth. The Demeco kills a little faster than the Karna, but it can't be silenced. Because the Karna only holds 30 rounds/mag, you want a full set of mags, and you still could be forced to pick up someone else's weapon. Just 0.07 under the next weight class is really good, and is why I'm not listing a suppressor, second scope, mining attachment for the multi-tool, etc.

Sweet! Thanks, I'll give it a try, just need to make some credits and find a shop that sells a Karna lol!

 

[Shadow Reaper]

Give us some vid of the Karma with suppression!
