Why are there even rifles without silencers?

[TechnoViking]

The one time I used a sniper rifle that didn't have a silencer I got annihilated. It immediately gives you away. Unless you want to go in guns blazing with your assault rifle shortly after firing your first shot it seems pointless. I would have loved to have seen a .50 cal Barrett with a silencer like this https://youtu.be/6cK9WQeNqN4?t=3m10s.

theres an M107 ingame with a suppersor too but its chmabered in .338 which makes no sense, same with the VSSk, thats a .50 irl but only a 338 ingame

You can use unsilenced rifles without major problems, but make sure you are at least 150m or so from any enemy. At this distance they won't hear the gun sound. I tried it even with the AW50 (.50 cal unsilenced), and it works just fine.
I actually prefer playing with unsilenced rifles, it's a bit more challenging and really, silencers breaking in 20 shots make no damn sense anyway.

Most guns here are alternate universe fiction made up names and even if some do resemble real life guns we have....it could be wrongly portrayed.

Well....it kinda kills the immersion...

Maybe they have that licensing and copywrite issues.

The VSSK is also straight pull bolt action IRL, not semiauto. But doesn't really bother me, i wasn't expecting a super-realistic sniper sim anyway. More like a sniping-oriented FarCry.

yeah, it seems that in every videogame its in its shown as semi auto. Still would nice if i could get head explosions with each shot

Well, without the supressor on, you need to take your shot then move. If you do that, you will have no problems.

I don't understand the supressor durabilty in this game. In real life you can dump a 100 round mag and have it glowing red hot and it still wont break.

Guns have altered names in video games because they have to pay firearm companies to use the names of there products. It's just cheaper to make up your own.

Look up the M107A1, most companies tend to build the same model rifle in many calibers. Since each company generally has there own style and also has universal parts to save money you wind up with a lot of rifles with the same stock, hand guards, etc. on many different weapons.
