OK I must first say I am a professional sniper. In INF of course That is all I use unless its extremely CQB like in Siberia but even there I would use my Robar hipped if so many ppl didnt cry.
Now the reason I mention this is when I am sniping, even if they hear the shot if I dont nail them in the first shot then the sound of the bullet will scare em away. Besides I never miss I range between 80-100% accuracy always. Also if there is more than one person when I shoot one even if it was a suppresed shot form a surpressed sniper rifle when his buddy hits the dirt I guarrentee he runs for his life. Besides there is nothing more satisfying for my boys in GD than to hear that unique "thunk" of my RC50 and knowing I just downed a tango.
Also the other problem with using a surpressed sniper rifle is the subsonic ammo. Lets say my target is 600 feet away. Ive taken shots even farther. Now lets say im using this subsonic ammo. That means my bullet travels around 650MPH. It will take almost an ENTIRE second for it to get to the target! That mean he has an entire second to move and "dodge" my shot! No way do I want that. I want ammo that zips at 3000-4000 feet per second! Then it will get there in a split second and the tango is gone. So a real sniper who knows what he is doing and knows to relocate after a kill or two to avoid detection will not want a silenced sniper rifle. End of story.
