Ah, another who knows the difference between a silencer and a suppressor.

I believe that the only true silent weapon is a firearm designed with a silencer function as an integral part of the weapon, not as an add on to the end of a barrel.

I used to shoot a bit with a firing device back in the late 70s - I believe that it was named an M1A firing device, and that was truly silenced.

I still have the manual back in a closet - I'll have to look it up.

Actually, even those must obey the laws of physics, and make some noise.
