What ammunition was used to achieve the quietest .22LR sound?

The video highlights the use of CCI Quiet-22 ammunition in conjunction with the Diligent Defense Road Hunter suppressed bolt-action .22LR. This specific ammunition is known for its subsonic velocity and reduced powder charge, contributing significantly to the minimal sound.

How quiet is the Diligent Defense Road Hunter with CCI Quiet-22?

The sound produced is so minimal that it's described as sounding like a simple firing pin strike or a hard primer strike. This level of quietness is often surprising, even to experienced shooters, and is a testament to effective suppression and ammunition choice.

Is a bolt-action rifle necessary for a quiet suppressed .22LR setup?

While not strictly necessary, a bolt-action rifle is ideal for maximizing quietness with a suppressed .22LR. The lack of a semi-automatic action's cycling noise means the only significant sound is the projectile's sonic crack (if supersonic) and the muzzle blast, which is heavily mitigated by the suppressor.
