thunderhammer Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Take note, that when firing the gun, the silencer seems to make no difference, but from a distance it does make a difference. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nilz Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Also, when firing one, your ear is usually close to the gearbox, whilst the sound leaving the barrel is directed away from you. The gearbox moving will drown out most of the muzzle report from the shooter's perspective. Â If you wanted to, you could fill up the vacant space inside the body of your AEG with foam to silence gearbox noise in addition to a silencer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
screamin_weasel Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 i have a custom silencer that didnt haev any foam in it. i finally got round to putting some foam in it yeaterday, and the sound difference was amazing compared to no foam, but i expected that. Â what i didnt expect was how good it sounded on my g36k when i wasn't firing it, just watching from a distance. you definately cant go by how it sounds while you're firing it. Â the noise from a GB is sometimes deafening. i once overkilled a team mate really badly, because the noise from my CA249 GB meant i couldnt hear him calling hit lol.

angel_wings Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 Depends entirely on your gun. P90 on single shot with the stock silencer is difficult to hear from anywhere over 10m away (in my experience) Â Also worth noting is single shot is always quieter than full auto. And probably the only mode you should use if your using a silencer to quieten your gun. Â But airsoft is all about the cool factor anyway so if its quieter its a bonus!

Marine47 Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 (edited) I've gotten lots of compliments on how quiet my CAm15 sounds with a KA 330mm silencer. Some of the guys I was playing with said they didn't know I was shooting at them until they got hit. Â As well as dampening the sound, a silencer with foam makes the gun sound a lot smoother, maybe it's just me, but I love how it sounds. Â Â edit: Oh yeah! This is a picture thread.... Â Â Â ^^ That's the gun I got compliments on, it's got a CQB barrel with an m4 length inner running about 3-4 inches into the silencer.

Marine47 Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 (edited) Very nice. What silencer is that on the SR-16? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Â Â Thank you. It's actually just a CA m15 with a cqb outer barrel and RIS. Â Â Also I screwed up the description...it's actually a KA 245mm, silly me. I highly reccommend this silencer.

Marine47 Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 Let me just say....I recieved my TM mk23 SOCOM today and it is DEADLY quiet! Not to mention extremely accurate. I'm VERY impressed. Anyway, just thought I'd add that since we've been talking about if silencers really do have an effect. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
