Weapon attachment kick effects

call-of-duty-modern-warfare-3

Does anyone have stats on how much the silencer attachment reduces recoil compared to the kick proficiency and grip attachment? It seems to vary from weapon to weapon, but I'm not sure. Additionally, the ACOG scope attachment sometimes seems to increase kick – I know it pushes the range flip of weapons farther out, so it makes sense. Is this a documented phenomenon? Thanks

The silencer 'officially' does not reduce recoil, although on certain weapons it does. The ACR 6.8 with a silencer behaves completely differently than an ACR with no attachment, and in my opinion the ACR should always be run with a silencer. The ACOG does not increase kick, but when you're looking through it, it appears to because your field of view is smaller so a small rise appears larger. It is best to use burst or semi-auto weapons with the ACOG, or manually burst-fire the weapon.
