So the Magsex is supposed to have variants with scopes and silencers. Why do they not exist?
Also, how are you supposed to silence a coilgun? The only sounds are the rattle of cycling, the hum of the coils and the buzz of the flechettes themselves. The cycling and hum are neglegeble and you can't really stop a speeding projectile from making noise in atmosphere.
Horrifying? That's a strange way to spell "romantic".

And me.
The sound made from a normal gun as we know it is caused by the pressurized gas behind the bullet releasing from the end of the barrel. Like popping a balloon.
I'm not completely sure how Caldari tech works but I'd guess it's something similar to a rail gun (or coil gun). Either way, the projectile is accelerated by magnetic forces therefore there is no pressurized gas behind the projectile and putting something on the end of the barrel would do nothing to silence any sounds made internally.

Prepare peasants. I'm about to drop, some actual, knowledge....
....on yo asses.
Any projectile travelling at the speed of sound or thereabouts, will give off noise. If slower than the speed of sound, the sound will reach you first, and vice versa.
Although tbf, some of you won't be studying physics.

The thread conversation is currently about silencing a magnetically accelerated projectile. I, in physics terms, explained how they will always make sound, and relative speed.
Because, y'know, physics applies in ALL things.
I weep.

A pretty damn big part of the noise produced by a gun is the shockwave of the projectile breaking the sound barrier, and despite the adorable pew pew noises our caldari weapons produce in the game they would be quite loud in person. Maybe not as loud as a combat rifle, but hey you're not going to win against the minmatar in a noise making contest
You could silence it by launching larger, heavier projectiles at subsonic speeds
Video example: standard supersonic ammo with suppressor, subsonic ammo
Anyways since there's no gunpowder in our guns the big fat cylinder suppressor screwing onto the end of our magsec smg in the icon would actually be totally pointless |

Thing is, it probably wouldn't really be a "buzz", when the projectiles are probably flying 10-15,000m/s through an atmosphere. More like a roar or a screech. Really damned loud.

Maybe it's not a silencer.... It maybe some sort of vent to balance the teribad awful kick of the weapon...

If It silent, the "tuh tuh tuh" sound would be muffled.
You'll hear the bullet fly by though. But you'll hear like a "tew tew tew" sound if the person is close?
Is that what yu want??
