I swap out 2 Amphibia magazines and get the reload icon then hit f.

I doubt they will too, Chris Torchia has said explicitly that they're not interested in adding subsonic ammunition at this juncture.

I wasn't suggesting that they add subsonic rounds.

 

I'm merely suggesting that, in lieu of subsonic rounds, they (in my view) have two approaches available to suppressors.

 

1. Make them "Hollywood" (i.e. silent/suppressed whilst using supersonic ammunition)

 

2. Make them "realistic" with only supersonic ammunition (i.e. slightly quieter, but still very loud, and a more modulated sound as to make it more difficult to ascertain the origin of a shot).

Depending on how far you're willing to take "slightly", I'd say that different guns should have variable levels of suppression based on their caliber (i.e. a CR75 with a suppressor will be a good deal quieter than a 7.62x51mm rifle with a suppressor)

However, the main advantage you should get for most weapons is the suppression of the weapon flash. People will have a harder time identifying you when you shoot an M4A1 at them from afar at night time if you have a suppressor.

That way there's still a reason to use the internally suppressed weapons, availability aside - if you really want a silent or nearly-silent weapon, your best bet is an Amphibia or VSS Vintorez, or whatever.

I do think that they should find a middle ground between the more realistic approach and the hollywood approach, though. The gun should be noticeably quieter, just not to the point that someone who you're shooting at will be unlikely to hear you (like it is with the Amphibia). It all does depend on how the devs want suppressors to work, though.

I don't like how it still pulls zombies 100 feet away, it's more trouble than it's worth.

its called SUBsonic not supersonic because the bullets dont break the soundbarrier ( less POOF ) 

 

I know, hence why I distinguished between the two above.

I've never tried either .22 weapon because by the time I find some mags, I have an SKS, Moisin or M4, so what's the point? .22 mags should spawn in residential areas.

Logged in yesterday after a couple days off and where my Amphib was in my pack, an empty space. Extra magazine still there. Sadness. Hit Tent City to find another. 2 zeds ninja me, broken leg, dead.
