The new stealth infantry: How suppressors will change battlefield tactics

By: Todd South, June 26, 2017

Two squads of infantryman approach an enemy position, one from each side. The commander orders the squad on the enemy’s right flank to attack. 

The cacophony of the firefight pulls the enemy in that direction as they return fire.

Meanwhile, the second squad charges the opposite flank, sound suppressors ­attached to their rifles and machine guns. They begin shooting.

The enemy commander has no idea he’s taking casualties on that side until it’s too late. His position is overrun. His unit is wiped out.

The author needs to get on a gun range with one of these, even the most high dollar types.  It isn't like the movies.  Quieter, not silent.  You might make a couple single shots near silent, not a couple magazines per man of a squad.
