How do you silence a laser?

What you do is you take something that's inherently silent anyway, and you make it sound cool, and then there's a feature request to put silencers on energy weapons, and we go, okay, why do these need silencers? Because you made them sound loud. You've got ballistic weapons, you've got energy weapons. They need to sound cool and stuff like that. And for gameplay reasons, if you need to silence one, you need to put silencers on the other and stuff like that. I think it would be fun if you had energy weapons that were completely silent. You'd be walking around and then just headshot, down. It's like the old Counter-Strike days where you just don't have a chance. So basically, we need it to sound cool. And then, for gameplay mechanics, we need to put silencers on them and make them sound silent. So, rule of cool.
