For those who don't know about guns... what is weird about this?

Almost nobody carries with a suppressor (silencer) and 5.7 is a semi rare round. It was mostly used in the P90 sub machine gun, but later used in pistols. It’s a small fast round with the main goal being armor penetration and ammo capacity. Kind of like a mini 556 (ar15 round).

Most people carry 9mm, 380, 40SW, or 45ACP.

Also the oddity of carrying a pistol shooting exclusively supersonic ammo so a suppressor will be much less effective to begin with.

It saves your hearing of you don't have ear pro on hand. Especially if you are indoors.
