I have an EM1 that I will be using for cqc - I put soft point ammo, a reflex sight and am working on advanced laser dot - I am not sure if the flash suppressor will be useful as the laser dot reveals your postion anyways - right?
If your using an LMG, a flash suppressor won't be very effective anyway; doubly so if your using the laser sight, which implies a preference for close range combat. Using soft point ammo on top of a suppressor would probably prove extra useless. Now, a silencer may be another story, but I don't see enough of those used to tell.
I noticed the weapon isn't as loud with the flash suppressor (sound also cues in enemy onto you) and if you're firing off a lot of rounds it definitely helps hide the flash.
Just remember that even if you toggle off the laser, the effect still applies to your gun and the visual effect is still visible to enemies. Toggling the laser is purely for show and has no effect. http://forums.station.sony.com/ps2/...-sight-if-the-enemies-can-still-see-it.57522/
