Suppressor question

[Smiter]

Does the suppressor reduce the damage of the weapon to which it's attached?

Not that I have noticed.. But it does wear out after some use.

I don't believe so... Just noise. Weapon still retains its strength. You can always do compare stats, nothing changes. Headshots are still good-to-go. If said weapon 1-shot (head-shot) before with suppressor-off on a mob, it still oneshot (headshot) with a suppressor-on the same mob-type.

No, as it should be. Suppressors like car mufflers increase back pressure which actually increases muzzle velocity and energy so when using standard cartridges it would actually do more damage in reality. Only when using subsonic ammo would you see a decrease in damage. Now you know.
