Generally it's more viable to get Suppress and silence a strong secondary, as most innately silent secondaries aren't very strong.

Talons are pretty alright unless they made the explosion no longer silent, but you can stick them to people without alerting them, and then just detonate a whole room so long as you're not seen.

As for this weapon, the burst IS silent, and will NOT alert enemies with the exception of grineer Sensor Regulators (which react to damage in general), however it will wake up enemies put to sleep by Equinox or Ivara due to the viral proc technically lowering enemies to 50% hp, will not grant stealth kills, and will break any active stealth combo. For these reasons it is not a viable spy weapon, however Ballistica Prime is.
