* Subverted in the season three finale of ''Series/BreakingBad'', where Mike uses a gun with a silencer to murder several cartel members selling meth on Gus's territory without permission. Only... the gun is ''far'' from silent.
** Though a lack of a gun blast is played straight, the casings hitting the wall/floor and the operation of the pistol are clearly heard.
* ''Series/{{Columbo}}'': In "The Bye-Bye Sky High I.Q. Murder Case", the killer uses a silenced ''revolver'' to kill the VictimOfTheWeek. The shots are quiet enough that a house full of witnesses downstairs cannot hear them, and he later uses squibs to fake the sound of gunshots to make it appear the murder had occurred later than it had.

** An episode featured a coke bottle silencer. Another had a potato silencer. While neither would work for more than a few shots, the Coke bottle would be more effective after the first, having a much greater surface-to-volume ratio.
*** The potato was used for two gunshots, and it ''worked.'' Not because it actually silenced the shot, but because the target is deaf.
* An episode of ''Series/{{CSINY}}'' had a ''teddy bear'' used as a silencer for a large Desert Eagle pistol.

* ''VideoGame/{{Warframe}}'' features [[GunAccessories mods for firearms]] that reduce the chance of enemies hearing your shots, up to 100%. This means you can make pistols, assault rifles or even ''shotguns'' you can shoot at unalerted enemies and miss several times, without ever alerting them to your presence; they will be alerted only if the shot hurts them without killing them, or if they witness a corpse of their comrade. These suppressors hardly reduce the gunshot ''you'' hear, meaning your "silent" assassin weapon will still pretty much be a boomstick. The warframe [[MakeMeWannaShout Banshee]] can innately make any firearm she holds be silent.

Basically, silencers control the discharge of gases that occur when a bullet is fired, which produce much of the sound. It's the RuleOfCool: Hollywood wants do depict a slealthy assassin or suave superspy make his hit in a public place, then [[StealthExpert melt into the night with nary a sound]].

The first time involving the secondary antagonist taking out one of his own incompetent subordinates is played a little more realistically as it makes a somewhat loud bang despite the popular sound effect.
