I've tried this and I don't think you can mount the silencer onto a
rifle, or the more powerful submachine guns like the MP53 and AKSU-74. I
guess the reasoning behind it was they're too powerful to suppress, but
IRL suppressed rifles are excellent sniping weapons because the report
of the firearm is muffled. The sonic crack of the bullet isn't clear
enough to tell where the shot came from and leaves the enemy confused.

Perhaps for JADG2 or JA3...
