It needn't be super-quiet (first round pop + sound of the action cycling is going to be fairly loud) to be an improvement, enough signature mitigation to make location identification of the shooter hard is helpful, and with really good optics again (3-18x or 5-25x from Leupold or S&B respectively) they can do more than just put rounds on target for COIN ops.
