In a good way, yes, they cancel each other out. If you just attach a silencer, it will reduce the "right out of the box" range of the KSG, but if you add the proficiency, the range will stay the same.

As far as a silencer decreasing either the range or long range damage of weapons - the ACR 6.8 puts the lie to that theory. Even with a silencer on it, I've gotten "across the map" OHKs on Interchange and Downturn with that beast   I used to use it in my overkill class with an MP7 as my 1st primary (with extended mags and an RDS) and the ACR as my 2nd primary; precisely because it's iron sights are so sweet, the only attachment you need on it is a silencer. I stopped using it after I got to 2500 kills because I think it's too overpowered.

Remember, you can't have slaughter without the laughter,
