Title says it all, why do they have one? I'm not opposed to the idea and the sound itself is nice, but P1 is statwise the same for both teams and for good reasons(same as smg1), so I don't really see why BE just gets a bonus like that. I'd like it more if both teams could just get a silenced pistol for when you wanna be a tacticool operator. Same stats as P1 but probably with less range/slightly more inaccurate?
If you are saying that BE 9mm pistol is silenced, I don't think that's intentional. I didn't, and I am not stamping on that.
