The PC (Personal Computer) is a highly configurable and upgradable gaming platform that, among home systems, sports the widest variety of control methods, largest library of games, and cutting edge graphics and sound capabilities.
1) You show up on your enemy's radar when you have been spotted so silencing your weapons doesn't make you show up on the radar. 2) Silencing your gun changes the recoil/spread of the gun and obviously makes it quieter. I'd say it's mostly a matter of preference.
The only difference is the model/skin, it doesn't effect the guns performance at all. It is a preference thing. The only thing you'll gain is a quieter gun, which can be a benefit, since sound is so crucial in counter-strike.
There are quite a few varying beliefs as to what the silencer does; I can confirm that the silencer reduces damage by a very small amount (I think this is mostly due to a slightly slower firing rate). Some also argue that the silencer increases accuracy (some even say it decreases it). All I can say is that it becomes a personal preference: some players use the silencer, others don't.
