So I don't know much about SMGs, but I'm wondering

So I don't know much about SMGs, but I'm wondering about the scope on Snake's signature weapon here.

Why is it mounted on the silencer, rather than on the body of the gun?
And why a rifle scope? Surely the MAC-10 would lose accuracy over a long distance since it's designed for semi- or full-auto fire.

Is this just a "looks cool" thing or is there actual gun logic that I'm unaware of at work here?

Looks cool. Also the cocking handle is on the top of the gun so you can't put the scope there.
>>
This is the same movie where they removed the handguards from M16's to make them look more "futuristic."

They didn't have red dots or prism scopes back then, and they wanted something futuristic looking. That's all.

yep. When I watched it with my nofun friend I was laughing and he didn't get it. So, I spoiled the rest of the movie for him for being a fag.

Patent for noise reductions devices officially lists them as both silencer and noise suppression devices. Being an up tight snob about the use of silencer when technically the accurate term means you are either a nofuns faggot trying to fit in or you are legitimately retarded. Either way please end your life.

>>31971624
Probably because of the location of the charging handle.

It's an action movie made in the 80s there doesn't need to be explanations for what was done.

>>31972489
That's a big suppressor

>>31971743
Maxim called them silencers, so they're silencers.

also note the FoxDIE subplot and compare it to the "time limit" they give Pliskin in both movies

also the fake name Solid Snake makes up in MGS2 - Iroquois Pliskin - remember the nod that Raiden got the reference, but never it was never explained it to the player... fan service for real fans only

But they are, sperglord. You don't pronounce giraffe with a hard G, do you?
>>
>>31973912
nope, almost every other mono-syllabic word in the English language that starts with a G, use the hard G
and the only exceptions to this rule are words that are actually derived from a different language.
seeing as though we are discussing an acronym the word has no root so standard English pronunciation should be used
>not to mention the "Graphics" uses a hard G as well, but that doesn't necessarily have to carry over to an acronym
but no lets keep using the wrong pronunciation just because some asshole likes peanutbutter
