He rolled on the ground, unloaded a full clip into his own police car where there was a HANDCUFFED SUSPECT and yelled things like "shots fired" and "I'm hit"

He didn't think it was a gunshot, he thought it was an incoming bullet plinking off the vehicle from a silenced gun or long range rifle lmao.
Then why was he shooting at the squad car?
I'm pretty sure he thought the handcuffed guy in the back of his car had somehow silently fired a gun at him.
I saw a video a while back where the police car had a compartment to store long guns in the back of the cruiser, conveniently marked "GUN". It was unlocked and a woman in the back managed to slip her cuffs, open it, and fire it at the cops.
The top comment on the video said, "You have a right to a firearm, if you cannot afford one, one will be provided for you."
remember that video of the guy who shot two cops that were harassing him during a traffic stop? only one died though
Even worse. A suppressed gunshot is still loud AF unless its a .22. or some other subsonic. He's dumb enough to think there's a fucking assassin out there targeting him.
It really depends, if the shot is far enough away from a suppressed gun with supersonic ammunition, you won't hear the actual gunshot, just the crack of the bullet. Which is still plenty loud, but different.
With subsonic ammunition, guns can get really quiet, but range and stopping power are severely impacted. This is why the Soviets and Russians have designed specific subsonic ammunition and weapons platforms, to minimise these disadvantages.
Well that's kinda my point. Aint nobody out there targeting cops with suppressed .300blk

Is that what the sonic boom or whatever is called?
So there's a few sounds that come when you use a firearm. The most obvious are the sound of the small explosion of the primer, forcing the bullet and the gases outward. That is fairly loud itself. Then there's the bullet breaking the sound barrier. Suppressors are designed to dampen the first, and using "subsonic" ammo, ammo that doesn't break the speed of sound affects the second.
There's also the sound from the action of the firearm, the moving metal parts and such. That varies depending on the gun.
Also what he was actually talking about was the sound the bullet makes when it hits something.
