Supressed 5.56mm- Way to powerful?

Well considering that hardly anybody is willing to play with realistic gun-sound volume for longer, you have narrow the gap between gunfire and everything else... otherwise you wouldn't hear anything but gunfire on 'family compatible' volume settings.

That's a point where I'm glad SS isn't sticking to 120% realism... no need to get deaf ahead of time

Second what?
I failed to understand your post
Anyway there must be a way to know exactly how much it reduces the sound. Also regular gunfire sounds should be much louder

it's not important, but just so you understand... you mentionned two "30 dB" ratings. On for the suppressor and one for the ear plugs. The "first 30 dB" is the first you have mentionned (i.e. the suppressor rating), the "second" is the second you have mentionned (i.e. the rating for the ear plugs).

Well I never said make it proportional like in RL most of the time, but while u hear gunshots that their sound was reduced so they don't blow your ears apart, all other sounds should be reduced to be propotional to the gunshot sounds, meaning while sombody is shooting somewhere close enough for u to clearly hear the shots, you won't be hearing anything else, at least until the sound stops playing - IRL u also can't hear much when people are shooting around you.

Nukeproof, it's definitely possible to just have simulated dynamic audio range. Gunshots never get loud enough to deafen you, but they can be relatively louder to background sounds that get their volume turned down in order to simulate temporary hearing loss. Not doable in UT99, or at least only an idiot would try at this point, but it's a very viable model.

Scientificily speaking, one gunshot wouldn't make you deaf. But continious firing could result to a more permanent damage.
Anyway that's what they brainwashed us youngsters with, it might be true.

edit:
dammit I suck I just wanted to correct a small typo
Please remove the bottom post, mr. admin.
