Corrected entry: The guy who shoots Dredd in the information booth uses the same gun that one of the guys outside the medical center had. You can tell by the very distinctive tape around the front end of the gun. It would seem extremely unlikely that they would have both done that, or that the second guy would go down more than 150 stories just to get a weapon, when there are plenty at hand.

Corrected entry: The silencers on the Judges' guns don't seem to make any difference: they sound exactly the same in normal as in silencer mode.
Correction: Yes, just like a real silencer. Silencers don't actually "silence" a weapon, they just make it very slightly quieter, like 15% or so. (The soft sound heard in most movies is very inaccurate). As the target, it's more difficult to judge how far away the weapon being fired is because you don't know if it's a distant weapon or a nearer but silenced weapon that's being shot at you, thereby making it more difficult to determine where to aim return fire. The guns sound the same to the viewing audience because there's not a lot of discernible difference on your TV between a sound that is 120 decibels (silenced gunfire) and a sound that is 140 decibels (normal gunfire) and we're always right next to the guns as they're being fired, not across the atrium with the villains being fired upon, so the effect would be almost totally lost on us anyway.

Dredd (2012)
Corrected entry: When Dredd is going through the ammo options and they all indicate empty, you can see that the display on the side of the gun is turned off, when it should have lettering on it. (01:15:00)
Correction: The display could not have been off since we only know the gun is empty because we can see the word "Empty" under the type of ammo Dredd has called up on the display. Any other angle in which it appears to be off is just because a bright blue light shining out of your gun in every direction isn't very tactical, so it's only visible from a very narrow angle; we have such technology now, so they certainly have it in this future world.

Correction: Why wouldn't they have both done it? It must serve some sort of purpose, whether functional or symbolic. If one person finds cause to apply tape to their gun, it stands to reason several others would as well.
