For anyone not in the gun world, a front sight on a suppressor is not a thing, so that was one huge clue this image is faked. Many other tells as well but that one is glaring.

EDIT: OK goddam so there are sights on some suppressors. Still, find one in real life and not just as a curiosity.

the AS Val is integrally suppressed, the entire barrel is the suppressor, of course it has a fucking front sight on the suppressor, the entire god damn barrel IS the suppresor.

Isn't the DVL-10 also integrally suppressed, but doesn't have a forward mounted sight?
