John Wick but with realistic sounding suppressors

I hate to break it to you, John Wick is fake as hell. It’s awesome but fake.

Most of the opposition to suppressors come from people who’ve never heard a real one. They believe the Hollywood fakery on how much sound they put out and actually think you can kill someone in a crowded room without anyone hearing.

There are countless examples of people making this claim as the suppressor debate raged in 2016. There was a narrative that Trump would make suppressors easy to access and cheap if he became president, and countless people would die without a sound. How’d that conspiracy turn out?

Here’s an example of that ignorant fear-mongering by Hillary Clinton (who was shot at by snipers in Bosnia):

The crowd fled at the sound of gunshots.

Imagine the deaths if the shooter had a silencer, which the NRA wants to make easier to get.

That tweet was fact-checked into oblivion but anti-gun activists are a cult. They are never embarrassed when their dogma is debunked. Nor do they stop repeating said debunked dogma, leading to more ignorant people falling for the lie.

That’s why this video is so good.

It takes a scene from John Wick where a gun battle happens in a crowded train station without anyone noticing. Again, people actually believe this is possible.

The video replaces the fake and unrealistic shooting sounds with sounds more accurately representing what it would really sound like as these two shot at each other with suppressors.

Like nearly everything you hear or see from Hollywood, movie suppressor sounds are far from reality.
