The Silenced 9mm is a weapon available in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

Description[]

As the name suggests, the Silenced Pistol is a regular Pistol equipped with a sound suppressor, where its usage in public won't cause people to run away like usual; it is ideal for stealth kills from a distance. However, pointing the gun at innocent pedestrians will cause them to raise their arms in surrender, as normal, and then to run away. Additionally, aiming the weapon near or in front of a gang member or a police officer will still attract their attention, and for the latter, will immediately gain a wanted star level.

Design[]

The Silenced Pistol is visually a Colt M1911A1 with an attached suppressor, but functions overall like a Glock 17. It uses special (possibly subsonic) 9mm rounds of which it holds 17 per magazine similar to the regular Pistol.

Performance[]

The weapon is fired from a proper two-handed stance to improve accuracy, eliminating the ability to dual-wield this weapon at a maximum skill level. Rounds also do more damage to targets taking about two to three shots to kill regular pedestrians, beat cops and most in-mission targets, while the usual pistol takes four shots for the same, which is accurate based on real suppressors, as they increase bullet velocity, which means having more kinetic energy, although not to a significant extent.

Fire rate is also decreased to increase the accuracy of the weapon. The weapon can also replace the Desert Eagle in many situations with 10 extra rounds, increased fire rate, and slightly weaker damage compensated through stealth. The damage per shot is 40, which proportionizes the slower reload of the Desert Eagle.

Depending on the weapon skill, some of the weapon's attributes change:

  • At 'Poor' (default) weapon skill, the Silenced Pistol is generally slow to use and does not let the character move while aiming.
  • After reaching the 'Gangster' weapon skill with the Silenced Pistol, the weapon slightly improves in accuracy and range (both lock-on and weapon), as well as fire rate. The player can also aim while moving, and strafe speed is increased.
  • After reaching the 'Hitman' weapon skill, its lock-on range improves slightly and matches with the overall range. Rate of fire and strafe speed are further increased, and the player can fire while moving.

Trivia[]

General[]

  • Although most of the M1911 pistols are built around single-stack magazines of .45 ACP ammunition, many clones are manufactured in 9mm with double stack magazines. However, this is somewhat anachronistic for the game's period setting.

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas[]

  • CJ never quips when aiming at people with the silenced 9mm.
  • Even though it is a suppressed version of the regular Pistol, it does not share ammunition reserve with it. It is possible that the suppressed version uses subsonic ammunition for the weapon, compared to a conventional grade ammunition for the regular Pistol.
  • Despite the fact a Desert Eagle is stronger than a silenced 9mm, when using cheat codes, a Silenced 9mm is in a stronger tier 3 category ('Nutter's Set'), while a Desert Eagle is in a weaker tier 2 category ('Professional Set').
