A video game character is a fictional character appearing in a video game or computer game. In the early days of gaming, most characters were little more than generic figures with little in the way of personality, depth, or likability. The first game character to gain massive popularity was Mario in the 1980s. With Mario began the concept of the "game mascot", the idea that a character could become representative of a game company while being marketable to a wide audience.

The type of gun also affects suppressor efficiency. Guns with the least 'leakage' are best, so a sealed breech (e.g. bolt action) is preferable and can be suppressed to the point that the "click" as the striker or hammer falls is the loudest sound of firing. Most autoloading firearms still produce a significant amount of noise from the gun cycling (A video is available here) and the leak of high velocity gas from the breech. Revolvers, due to their 'loose' structure, cannot be made quiet, with few exceptions: The Nagant M1895 revolver used an unusual gas- ...
