Description
Simple Silencers adds new weapon attachements to the game for vanilla firearms. They are:

Suppressor: This is a factory made suppressor, and can be attached to either automatic rifles, or automatic handguns. This includes the M14 Assualt Rifle, M16 Assault Rifle and MSR788 Rifle; as well as the M9 Pistol, M1911 Pistol and the D-E Pistol. The suppressor can NOT be attached to non-automatic weapons. This includes all the revolvers, the MSR700 Rifle, and shotguns. Suppressors can be found in gunstores, police stations and a few other places.

Makeshift Suppresor: This has been hand-crafted, and can only be attached to automatic handguns due to the poor quality. These are unlikely to be found in gunstores, but may show up in other places. Additionally, this can be crafted by the player, provided they find the notes to do so.

I made this mod because the few silencer mods made specifically for vanilla firearms are either out-of-date, buggy with red errors, or apply to every firearm under the sun. Revolvers do not benefit from a suppressor - they exhaust from the chanber, not the barrel D: Shotgun suppressors are bulky - there is no universal size for every gun D:

Finally, I wanted to add more balance between firearms. Revolvers are easy to reload, while automatics take longer, and can jam. Shotguns are powerful from the onset, and do not need additional buffs from a suppressor mod. The MSR700 does not need a magazine (despite the game occassionally glitching one into existance) where the MSR788 does. Assault Rifle magazines can hold more bullets, but are prone to jamming, especially the M16. Speaking of which, I reccomend a mod called Three Round Burst to make the M16 less terrible.

For B42: Options are back! MSR700 is default now. Yeah, I kinda got annoyed that I couldn't use a suppressor on my M3, so I took another stab at updating the mod. So, we're back to attaching suppressors uniquely..

given the video i assumed that the muzzle flash thing was intentional and wasnt something your mod handled, but if an update broke it thats understandable.

@BigMommaGart - the muzzle flash got broke with B42 at some point - like multiple times. I am done fixing shit they are just gonna break again. Besides, I recommend using the mod Vanilla Muzzleflash Enhanced which IIRC is better implemented in any case and didn't have the issue last time I checked

really good ideas on this mod but the execution is a bit sub par. t he muzzle flash still showing when you have a suppressor equipped and the goldeneye silenced ppk sound really take away from the immersion.

thank you for your work but i hope these things could change in future versions

@sidokitos and @Der Meisterdieb - the sound files are located in */SimpleSilencers/42/media/sound. You can play them with media player or whatever to see what they should sound like (they are actually a bit quieter in game) so if you're hearing something different, it's probably another mod causing a conflict, or maybe your game sound settings are weird or something.

I've never had an issue with them ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

the mod is nice but the sound is horrible, im currently running a server with it and i wanted to know if there is any way i can change the sound or something?

@Monkey Magic I just installed the mod and found a silencer, I added it to my rifle but when I went to shoot it made a noise as if it didn't have the silencer, what could it be?

I have the same problem.

Should work fine, but like all mods that add stuff to the loot table will only for unexplored sections of the map.

Does it work for ongoing saved games?
I installed it and still haven't found any suppressors

@SDgamer - It's Steam. It's stuck in "checking" phase for some reason. Hopefully they will push it through soon
