Silencers

Good suppressors actually increase the velocity of the round. It also improves accuracy. If you dont believe me go here http://www.surefiresuppressors.com/s...nce_intro.html

That article did not take into account the supersonis crack, so that gun was not properly suppressed, and that is a tiny differencr in velocity anyway... it is just a more unwieldy weapon, and carbines are supposed to be the opposite of awkward!!!

No, you can't slap a silencer on any pistol or weapon you want to. I'm not sure if I can name which weapons you can't.

There are suppressed grenade launchers as well, showing once angain that with some creativity anything can be suppressed.

So what if you leak info... I mean... look at the amount of internet publicity the beta has got... and it isn't as if another game can be made in two months stealing all the ideas...

Can someone give me a rough estimate of how many testers have been kicked off for leaking info??? I have heard of none...

Would you leak info with a zero tolerance policy like the one on this site?

Thank you,

Now please, stop asking me to leak info, and stick to the topic before it gets locked.

Well, the various suppressors will be silent to differing levels, but the bullet should do less damage, me thinks...

you can put silencers on almost any gun in the game, i have seen videos of m14 SD's and I have seen them killing people very very effectively. The game simulates a silencer's damadge reduction by adding one more shot to kill it seems, but if you cant get that extra shot to kill when your enemy cant find you and your accuracy is popped up a little, then you should find a different game altogether...

i think they can be on any gun, great iw 80sd and m14sd.....

I didn't bother to read the whole thread, so if this was addressed I apologize for the redundancy. Silencers are not meant to be place on every gun. If the gun is significantly modified it can be outfitted with a silencer. The MP5 and M4 (in real life) can be used with or without a silencer and it can be added or taken off of the same weapon. An M14 and the m16 are not meant to be used in conjunction with a silencer; I hope to dear god that in S3 guns that are not meant, in real life, to be used with silencers are majically able to have a silencer thrown on. If every jackass uses an m16 or m14 or IW-80 with a silencer it will be the worst online game ever, regardless of what improvements they make over S2.
