I believe there is sound suppresion for the Barret, but I don't believe
that it can be truly silenced considering the size and all. The only reason
I know that it can be muffled is that one of my Street Sams got it as part
of payment for a run for some guy in the Army who called himself Sgt.
Slaughter for some ungodly reason. Of course the less said about that run
the better.
