A very, very ineffective one. It works better for revolvers (kinda) if it's
a big pillow and can cover the whole gun so noise doesn't escape from the
cylinder gap, but automatics, it's not that great. Unless you get a lot of
pillows, but eventually it would start to slow down the bullet. Maybe a -1
or _maybe_ a -2 on the perception test.
