Assassin Perk and Whisper-Quiet Muzzler

[Smoothjedi]

I believe the Assassin perk is broken and not functioning with the Whisper-Quiet Muzzler. Damage does not increase when I install this mod on weapons to get them down into the range of 2.5m or less.

If it is working as designed, the follow up question would be what is the point of the perk then? I've gone through stores, my storage and inventory and only could find one weapon type, the saber, that starts with a default below 2.5m. That weapon's listed damage actually did go up when I bought the perk. 

So, either the interaction with the mod is broken, a display bug isn't showing the new dps, or the perk is practically useless and the description needs to change to reflect it only modifies one type of weapon. Can someone confirm which one it is? Thanks
