Bolto is a bit tricky with its silent/alarming stat. It is a SILENT secondary, meaning when fired it makes no noise to alert enemies, but it is still counted as an ALARMING weapon when seen in its upgrade section. This is because if it is fired and it misses the target it can alert nerby enemie. For example. if you were to fire at the ground about 5 to 10  meters away from an enemy in its line-of-sight the enemy would be alerted to you. As opposed to you firing the Bolto directly behind an enemy's back in which it would not see the projectile's hit point nor hear the Bolto. So the Bolto is silent in the sense that enemies  cant hear it, but  alarming in  that an enemy may see it and be alerted  if you shoot around them. I just tested this out on a mission a couple minutes ago and came to those results, if you want you can do the same.
