There is some misinformation here. The silencer does not reduce recoil, HBS is far from useless and does not make players "avoid you" (that doesn't even make sense), and ACOG increases actual recoil, not just visual recoil. Visual recoil is like on the .44 Magnum where the gun kicks up a lot but if you fire really fast the shots are still basically going to the same spot.
