Cheaper you say?

Let me see...

silencer: about 100$

9mm pistol: 400$

range time: 30$/day

Lessons needed: 2

ammo: 200$/1000 rounds (about 2 cents per round)

net cost to become proficient: around 800$ over the course of about a month

filed down barrel between uses, rounds can't be matched, effective at close range, compact and easily hidden, widespread use means harder to track.

Bow and Arrow: 300$

Archery lessons: 67$/day

lessons needed: 10-15

ammo: 60$/12 (about 50 cents a round)

net cost to become proficient: 1365$

To remain cost effective all rounds must be retrieved, arrows easily traced due to lack of widespread use, limited range and effectiveness, must carry CQC weapons
