silencer=/= flash.
running without one i would be the first to say i would love to see realistic muzzle flash.
as for tracing back to the source of the tracers, yea it's possible, but with out a muzzle flash, all you have is a general direction. where as with a flashing tracer unit, you basically become a beacon.
it's also nice to be able to run without a silencer and still have bright tracers.
