Suppressors/Silencers and Viewkick

[cobracordite]

Hey Den,

Bit curious about something... I've had the feeling, especially from the Thompson and mp100, that when fitted with a suppressor/silencer, the viewkick (recoil) seems to be tamed down somewhat... I don't whether it's an illusion due to the dampened down sound effects or whether it really is happening... the weapon charts don't indicate any change... but is there any evidence of this from what you've seen in the game files?

Cheers.

There is no change. What makes you think that is probably not the reduced sound, but the reduced muzzle flash. It makes it much easier to see while shooting.

Definitely no change. Equip a Thompson with silencer and another without and go into a private match. Stand a certain distance from a wall (one that shows bullet holes), aim down the sights, and unload. Take a step to the right, pull up the silenced Thompson, and repeat. Both guns show the same spread pattern.
