Is a firearm necessary? How about an arrow trailing several weed whacker cords, fired from a powerful compound bow with its aiming device & release trigger? Object: entanglement. Makes no noise, breaks no laws. Upon launch, anyway.

Yeah but I can shoot allot further and more accurately than I can throw.

But...a bow & arrow is silent.

Think for a moment: suppose Robin Hood had carried a rifle in Sherwood Forest.

If he shot twice, the Sheriff of Nottingham would know right where he was!
