Alpha Protocol Equipment Database: Item Details
Subsonic Rounds (30)

Category: Ammunition
Type: Assault Rifle
Value: $5,000
Quick Summary: Silences weapon fire, but low damage and ineffective against armored targets.

Subsonic rounds use a substantially heavier projectile and lower quantities of gunpowder. Traveling at less than the speed of sound, these rounds are less likely to draw attention to the shooter. The low muzzle velocity makes these rounds ineffective against armor, though the increased mass balances out the stopping power lost from lowered velocity.
