Using a weapon attached with a suppressor/silencer requires a different type of skill set, particularly in GTA Online when everything can go wrong very easily. So, with that in mind, here are 10 of the best-silenced weapons in the game!
10 . Heavy Pistol (Best for Mid-Range Attacks)
With a semi-automatic fire rate and high damage per shot, the Heavy Pistol is a formidable weapon. Its damage is lesser than comparable pistols, but its 18-round magazine is somewhat greater. It usually takes 2-3 body shots to take out a target, but a single shot can sometimes be all it takes. If you're going for the "one shot, one kill" strategy, this is a good gun. While it is not ideally used as a silenced weapon, it can still do wonders with its accuracy with a suppressor.
Stats:
- Damage- 40%
- Fire Rate- 40%
- Accuracy-50%
- Range-35%
What makes it awesome:
- High damage per shot
- 18 round magazine
- Useful for one-shot kills

- From the Ammu-nation stores in the game.
9 . Combat Pistol (Best for Close-Range Attacks and Drive-bys)
A step up from the Pistol, the Combat Pistol version has somewhat more damage, greater accuracy, and a bit longer range while still having the same fire rate and ammo magazine capacity. A magazine capacity of 16 rounds can be added, making it appropriate for normal shooting encounters. Adding a suppressor can help in taking out targets quickly as well due to its range. With a suppressor, it can be used for stealth missions as well.
