Nah, the silencer only shows when the player has it on. Same with the usp.

Ah, this brings up a new question. Can other people hear you put your silencer on? I think the answer is no, but I'm not sure. You know how we can hear someone switching to grenades or pulling out their knife. Same with the silencer?

Both. The gun feels the same with or without to me. Just the noise level is all.

I prefer silenced.

No silencer headshot 90-91 dmg
Silenced headshot 87-89 dmg.
5% dmg loss.
Theres the damage difference.

Accuracy wise. With a silencer the spray pattern is alot tighter.
The non-silenced shots tend to spread out more.


Edit: Voted. You need too add one. Because I use it sometimes and dont use it on others. No right option for me :[

Unsilenced

Silenced
+ stealthy
+ better spray 'accuracy'
- guns sticks through certain objects/walls and around corners more
- slightly less damage

This is my take on the subject as well.

Personally, I go back and forth. I would say I am silenced 80% of the time, like everyone else, for the stealth.

I always go silenced, the benefit of being able to get off 3 or 4 shots before your enemy has located you is beneficial and I think that is why it cost more than the ak.

I silence 99.999% of the time. IDK it just works out better for me. But still, AK > M4.
