My google fu has presented me with myriad different opinions on the matter so I ask here: Does the laser sight attachment benefit remain even when the laser sight attachment is turned off? Can opposing players see the laser sight? When turned off/on? How about when cloaked? I would love a hip fire bonus on CQC SMG builds like Infil and Light Assault but can't abide a situation in which you're beaming your location to the enemy team.
Im pretty sure the bonus is kept when laser is turned off. Of course my reasoning for this is that i dont notice any change in the hipfire reticle size when turning it on an off.
