The M417 SB's trivia point that we are discussing has only one thing that tethers it to the Trivia, and that is the "unique" part. This means that any and all weapons and items of its kind that relate to what makes it "unique" are not the same as the M417 SB in terms of what makes it unique. In shorter words, the M417 SB may do a 40 damage suppressed or whatever you said/the trivia said, but ' do the other 41 damage Assault Rifles do the same?! '

You gave me examples of weapons that are NOT 41 damage Assault Rifles, but 40 damage Assault Rifles. It naturally follows that those weapons are WWWEEEEAAAAAKKKKEEERR. However, have you tried any of the 41 DAMAGE ASSAULT RIFLES?!

You give me concrete evidence that the other 41 damage Assault Rifles (if any) do not do the same. You give me concrete evidence that the M417 SB and the M417 SB ONLY has this property. Only once you do this will I concede. The burden of proof has now shifted to you. XM8 had 41 damage before suppressor. Did exactly the same amount as the M417 SB did at point blank range, mid range and surprisingly did worse at long range. Both weapons never 3 shot on light vesters in the front. They have the tiniest little fractional chance of getting a 3 shot in the back on light vesters. XM8 dealed the same amount of damage as the SG550 Mark II, M4A1, and M6A2 CQB at point blank range once '''SUPPRESSED. As Eleanor has stated before, the M417 SB once suppressed''', deals the same amount of damage as the 40 damage ARs (ie. M4A1 SOPMOD, M16A4 Firebug, ParaFAL, XK-8 Tactical). As a former lithtech engine expert, I found the M417 SB had a special tag in one of the .rez files (not the ones Ed uses, he'll never figure it out) when looking at the overall stats of the gun, this tag dealt with an occurence i've seen on the UMP45 SE. Instead of addressing the sound file used, it addressed the damage taken away when attaching a suppressor. Of course, i'm not a coder, so I couldn't understand what came after the obvious foremention, but that was enough to assure me it was not a placebo effect.

The only way I figured this out was by installing a horribly-working version of CA on an Italian library computer. I nearly got kicked out. The in game tests came before I left, and were done by both Eleanor and I, on Eleanor's account.

If you trust me, this should be proof enough. If you don't, well no M4A1 CQBR to M4A1 SOPMOD for you then. Itech+no damage reduction from silencer sounds like a good deal? If you do take this as proof, I'll share my contact info over chat, and work on trying to get it working. I have multiple versions of that on my gaming computer.
