Just a heads up none of us are operators.
I will take no recoil and silence over some silly noise maker.

Because of that, operators have to work hard and employ tactics suited to the tools available.

Now because airsoft guns don't have much recoil and barely makes any noise, basic stuff like FoF identification, steath approach, reconnaissance, target and line of fire evaluation and choice are not really relevant. By the time your target spots you, you had time to hose down lots of precise shots.

Having to cope with the fact that if you miss or miscalculate your position or the enemy's forces and movement changes EVERYTHING.

That comes from a guy playing GBBRs all summer. It does have a louder signature than any AEG, and at least a little recoil. Still, it's closed to a suppressed .22LR than a 5.56 supersonic round.

Having that kind of device on your gun would force you to adapt to a more realistic situation, with the benefit that you can use an AEG or ERG to add reliability and drop entry price.
