it sounds better without the suppressor

[HagelbergArms]

sure it sounds cool without the suppressor. But from a tactical point of view, it is way to noisy without. If you are forced too use hearing protection during combat, there will allways be the danger that communication might be missunderstood. And lastly, shooting the MG-42 in the night, might blind you and your buddies, and might as well expose your position to the enemy.

@HagelbergArms does the danish army have active earmuffs?

@SwedeIndeed2

Only our special forces, everybody else buy them theirselves

@yelton7 Uhh WHAT? Modern thinking of war is to prevent the most casualties on ones side, while causing as much casualties to the enemy - If the enemy by an instant knows where you are, you are pretty much dead. The sence of modern war is to be as quick, deadly, and quiet as possible - It is not WW2 anymore.

@Prof1989 Yeah, I was mixing stuff up. But they used plenty of submachine guns.

[Prof1989]

@matt92hun pistol caliber in WWII? Only in pistols and submachineguns...regular rifles and the MG42 fired 7,92 x 57 mm...

[matt92hun]

@yelton7 Because exposing your position makes sense... It probably worked this way in WW2, where they mostly used pistol caliber, but now it shouldn't instil more fear than an M240B, an M2HB, or a hand held 7.62x54mm.

[yelton7]

@HagelbergArms its supposed to be noisy you moron, supposed to instil fear in the enemy, your modern thinking of war makes no sence

@Macki1287

and that there is no more muzzlecrack/boom from the muzzle. Only thing you hear is the soniccrack of the projectile. And this sound will fly past you, if you get shot. So its not as easy and sometimes not possible to hear where the bullets are coming from.

But, once again. The 15 year old kids that play call of duty dont know such things.....

good supressor on that MG! love it!

and it works damn good too

@HagelbergArms

dont even waste your time, trying to explain real firearm or combatstuff to kids, who only know guns from Computer games and post shit on real firearm videos.in games every big assaultrifle or machineguncaliber is almost not hearable with a "silencer". They dont understand that this just does not work, and that its not even the purpose of a "silencer".

One of the main advantages is, as you mentioned, that there is no, or very less muzzleflash....
