I've read that suppressed weapons are popular when serving a warrant - particularly a no-knock warrant - when the object of the warrant has one or more dogs, especially those kept outside, either on a long tether or in a fenced yard. Pre-emptive use of the suppressed weapon on said canines has supposedly been referred to as "hush puppy."
