Could We Get An Innate Silent Weapon?

[OverlordMcGeek]

This is the future after all and then we already have beauties like this:

 

 

It would be perfect as a grineer weapon to mess with us.

[Adaptor-Face]

ogris and angstrum is silent

[shoryukensama]

latron wraith is silent and so are bows

That's an airsoft gun. 

 

And as others have pointed out, we do have innately silent weapons.

[S7ORM]

Further, that's an airsoft gun.
Shooting bullets is significantly louder.

But yes, we already have some silent weapons:

• Bows (Paris, Dread, Paris Prime, Cernos) are completely silent, able to multi-kill, and can pin corpses out of sight.
• Lanka.
• Opticor.
• (Synoid) Gammacor.
• Bolto and (Telos) Akbolto
• Explosive weapons (Ogris, Torid, Penta, Bows with Thunderbolt) are, oddly enough, silent.
• All melee weapons, including the Glaive, Halikar and Kestrel.
• Helios's Deconstructor is also silent.
• Throwing weapons: Despair, Kunai, Hikou (Prime), (Sancti) Castanas.
• Cloaking based Warframe abilities (Smoke Screen, Invisibility).
• Offensive based Warframe abilities (Shuriken, Slash Dash etc.): silent only if cast under cloak.
• Mag's abilities Pull and Shield Polarize.
• Ash's Teleport: silent only if cast under cloak, otherwise teleporting to an enemy will cause you to bump into it and cause an alert.
• All of Vauban's abilities
• Stinger, the default weapon included with Djinn Sentinel, is silenced.
• Hush and Suppress, are rifles and pistols mods respectively that render any weapons completely silent at maximum rank

[Kinperor]

Lanka is silent, Castanas as well.

Probably Ballistica too.

[(PSN)jwernecke]

I vote something more along the line of the Welrod.....

[Goosmo]

ogris and angstrum is silent

They still haven't fixed that? It has almost been a year now...

 

*facepalm*

[Rakshal]

I think the term you meant was suppressed.

 

But an innate suppressed rifle would be pretty neat.

[ograzzt]

Probably Ballistica too.

No. Ballistica is too powerful to be silent.

[CY13ERPUNK]

No. Ballistica is too powerful to be silent.

 

[Similon]

Ballistica is not silent. Because that would be too good.

Welp I've been wasting a mod slot on my lanka, 

 

I would still be happy if we got more silent guns. 

[OverlordMcGeek]

My bad should have made the title a bit clearer.

Just pointing out, a lot of these weapons aren't truly silent; they're just "reduced noise level / reduced awareness".

So they're effectively silent at mid- to long-range, but you're still going to set the alarms off if you stand three feet behind an enemy and fire your Akboltos into the ceiling.

"we have mods for this"

[Archangelzz]

That's an airsoft gun. 

 

And as others have pointed out, we do have innately silent weapons.

That is true though, that is an actual weapon as well the Russian AS VAL.

Yeah I think this is what he meant, and I agree it's a neat weapon idea.

I will point out that firearms can be made comically quiet with the right technology.   Everybody knows about suppressors ("silencers"), but fewer realize that most of the noise people down range hear isn't the rifle...it's the BULLET.  Most bullets fired from a rifle fly at super-sonic speed, meaning that as they plow through the air and the empty tunnel collapses behind them, you get a sonic boom. Or in this case a sonic crack.  To that end, to make a really silent firearm you need to shoot bullets that fly at sub-sonic speeds.  That means no speed-of-sound crack.

 

Prepare to have your mind blown.

 

The VAL fires a special cartridge, the 9x39mm, which was designed to retain accuracy and (soft) armor defeating properties at sub-sonic velocity. The weapon also has an extremely serious suppressor which is built into the barrel itself. It is a very very quiet weapon system.

 

Another option for sneaky Russians, The PSS, which used a crazy cartridge that did not release any gas at all. The casing is completely sealed and instead uses a piston to punch the bullet down the barrel. Less powerful, but even more stupidly quiet.

 

Moving to a different country, somebody mentioned the Welrod... obscenely quiet weapon, with another integral suppressor, and an internal design that deliberately bleeds speed away from the bullet to make it subsonic.  Or, in a similar vein to the Welrod the less known DeLisle carbine, which fired .45ACP....with, again, huge integral suppressor and subsonic projectiles. The DeLisle is so quiet that to a bystander, working the bolt is about as loud as the actual gunshot.

 

So yeah. Real, deadly military weapons can sound like airsoft replicas if you try hard enough. You have to sacrifice muzzle velocity, which means sacrificing effective range, but it can be done.

Let's not forget, even though melee was already listed, the Redeemer and its charge attack.

Silent. Shotgun.

[Revel72]

It doesn't take long to me to come up with good stats for a gun what has integrated suppressor.

i wuv you

[RealPandemonium]

  There are lots of innately silent weapons.  Are you perhaps talking about guns with silencers innately part of the weapon?

latron wraith is silent and so are bows

Latron Wraith is quiet but not silent.
