I tried searching the forums but couldn't find a definitive answer.

How much does a silencer reduce damage? Let's use the DSG-1 and Marshall as an example.

the DSG-1 is the only weapon which has no damage-reduction through the silencer.....or has this been fixed with the latest patch?

Do you know how significant the reduction is? Is there a certain percentage?

Weapons start off with a certain amount of Damage out to a set Distance.
After that range, the weapons in Crysis 2 lose Damage Per Meter to a Minimum Damage.
For example, the SCAR loses 0.25 damage per meter until it reaches 25 Damage.

and...

The long range minimum damage is decreased slightly with a silencer equipped, just enough that it would take an extra body shot.
Note that the DSG-1 isn't showing a silencer - that's because it doesn't lose damage with it.

True the DSG-1 doesnt loose power with the silencer,i even think its more powerfull with it.

For me, silencer = useless weapon, is my opinion.

Silencers are only good if you play assault... or on a specific loadout of a stealth class...
