Back when I had such things, I noticed about a 5-10 fps drop when I put a SOCOM silencer on a stock MP5K. I chalked it up as the silencer acting as a barrel extension, or perhaps to any sort of turbulence created by the open foam cells. Who knows, who cares really.

If you quiet your gun considerably and it costs 5 fps, it was worth it.

I doubt you would see any losses with a gun shooting 400 fps, but 250 fps is a tad different.
