Looking for silencer
« on: November 02, 2005, 02:31:50 PM »
Coming into this I know absolutely nothing about silencers so I need some help here.

I want to get a silencer for my Spetsnaz, I heard some silencers actualy.. silence.. some add accuracy or w/e.  I have no idea where to start.

Any suggestions as to what I should get and why?

If you run from a sniper you will just die tired.

I sometimes use a silencer with my tm aug but it makes my gun a little less accurite. BUt it does muffle the sound alittle. Most people use them if they buy a new barrel longer then the guns old one and use the silencer to hide it.

From what I've heard/experienced/seen it really doesn't matter. Guys, correct me if I'm wrong, but the silencer doesn't really have any effect on the sound most of the time. I've seen them increase the accuracy a little but, in my opinion, it's really all up to personal preference.

Check this link out. WGC shop has about every silencer you ever dreamed of for airsoft:

By the way. There's a thread on here already about silencers; check that too.

Well, to correct you, you are wrong.

Silencers when properly constructed have a HUGE benefit. Ask to see Ganef's OPS silencer or, I could show you my Head 19.50  silencer at the next game. They make a huge difference in both the octave and report of an AEG, again, when properly constructed.

A low-noise grip plate is said to help also, since most of the noise produced by the firing process comes from the grip's motor compartment.

Sometimes people extend the inner barrel into the silencer, which would add some accuracy.

Most of the airgun suppressors I've seen so far don't really reduce the sound much.

I used to like using a suppressor back in paintball days to poke a hole through the bushes and leave the rest of myself concealed.
