@Anonymousboi: The close quarters damage isn't lowered, which is a big part of the effectiveness of a suppressor, as it's a close quarters combat type of attachment. While snipers can be virtually silent at range with a suppressor, it's easier to compensate for bullet drop at long range with a Flash Hider. With that, you can still snipe, and people won't see you that much at long range due to the lack of muzzle flash. The trick with a Suppressor is to use it in close quarters, what the Standard Suppressor is good for, unless you want medium range combat, which would mean the ARS or PBS-1 Suppressors are good for the role too.

With guns like the VSS, you're long dead after you react, so even when unsuppressed (which it can't), you still can't turn around quickly and react.
