Is it possible to silence a pellet gun

RFtinkerer Private Full Member. Jun 3, 45 0 The loudest thing about a 22 spring powered pellet rifle, at least the cheap GAMO I bought for fun and which you seem to be considering , was the spring when subsonic.

A suppressor wouldn't do crap for that. Also I hated it immediately for inaccuracy. Hoser's PCP, on the other hand, looks accurate, quiet, and sexy but of course pricey. Maybe another break barrel besides GAMO. I don't want to see you wasting money on a GAMO.

I will say that my Air Arms TX is spring powered, and is significantly quieter to shoot with the barrel shroud installed than with it off. Many air rifle manufacturers, whether spring-powered or PCP, do sell air rifles with permanently attached suppressors or shrouds that reduce the sound output relative to non-suppressed versions.

Come to think of it, my "rifle" did have a barrel shroud and that probably reduced the sound. I think my memory is biased because I hated the sound and inaccuracy. It went quickly on my POS-waste-of-money shelf, along with a couple cheap scopes, a lesson to buy once, cry once. I hate GAMO. Never buy GAMO. Well as much as I hate to I may look into a reservoir type saw some that come with a manual pump I don't want to have to meds with filling bottles.

I have a nitro piston from benjamin that has a sound suppressor on it and its perfectly legal here in NY It is pretty darn quiet and is very accurate out to 50 yards. The gun has a very solid feel and good break barrel. No complaints here. EddieP Sergeant Full Member. May 8, 0 39 England. When I used to work in a gun shop in the UK I used a pre-charged air rifle to demonstrate the effectiveness of active ear defenders, so you can imagine how loud that has to be.

The same guns were virtually undetectable with a cheap moderator. So yes with a pre-charged air rifle a moderator could even be accurately called a silencer. They are also cheap before your tax stamp Are you allowed to modify your registered suppressors? If so I can tell you the secret to the above mentioned noise reduction that can only work with an airgun.

Most of the pellet guns have a shrouded barrel that makes them quiet. These shrouds are permanently attached. Above are some of the quietest air rifle for neighborhood use.

I've had Gamo Silent Cat and it's pretty quiet. I will be trying other recommendations you've highlighted in this guide- which one do you think I should go for first?

I'm glad Gamo worked out well for you. You could try Benjamin Marauder. At the time of writing this article, all the guns where available.

Repeating this action throughout the gun's firing mechanism will reduce the mechanical noise of your weapon. Method 2. You must calculate how much air expands in your gun's firing chamber. The silencer you build must have enough internal area to contain this volume of air.

In broad terms you must construct a can that mounts to the end of the gun that is closed on both ends. Inside the can there are several baffles. Through both ends and each baffle there must be a hole opened that allows the projectile to pass through. The hole should be a little bigger than the projectile to allow the projectile to pass through the ends and the baffles without touching the sides of the holes.

The holes must also be exactly in a straight line, otherwise the projectile may strike the sides of one or more of the holes which will affect its trajectory. To lessen the concussive blast to lessen sound, substitute an open ended egg carton taped to the barrel for the pipe. It possesses greater sound absorbing qualities and won't obscure the sights of the BB gun.

If you want to get some steel wool and line the inside of the pipe or bottle with it, the steel wool will absorb the sound a little better.

Your BBs might hit it though if the suppressor isn't on straight. Include your email address to get a message when this question is answered.

The first is mechanical. The trigger clicks, the various pieces and parts of the weapon's internal parts move, perhaps a next round is loaded which requires other moving parts.
