What gun has the quietest operation (ie audible noise)?

[Templar007]

Hey all,
I was just wondering what you guys think is the quietest operating gun (non-pump)? Is it a Matrix with Trinity reg and Armson Stealth? Or a Angel with Boomy? What do you guys think? Oh, just aftermarket barrels no homemade silencers.

Shocker w 16 in AA.

Not ANY angel with ANY barrel is quieter than other guns lol.

[Tbone]

I also agree with Shocker

[slayer]

I also agree with shocker with stock barrel, although I have not been around a ton of different types of guns. Also, that barrel that comes with it is really long and has tons of porting, both of which really help make it quiet, and suck air like an asthmatic fat man running up Mount Everest.

My icd alley cat with the 14 inch smarts parts barrel was the quietest gun i have ever had. there was a small hole over the ball feed, which i taped over to keep the rain out one day, and the gun just went totally silent. The only thing you could hear was the recock. From a distance all you could hear was the balls coming at you. My friend has the identical gun, and I hate playing woods games against him because all you can hear are the balls hitting around you. Now that I have a micro, its hard to keep the same stealth, but its worth it.

The quietest gun I ever heard shoot was the Nova. You couldn't hear it at all. Most cockers are pretty quiet, except for that damn clicking of the back block Other than that, yeah Shockers are quiet.

I would say, a cocker with a boa conceler barrel on it

[mykroft]

Shocker or Matrix, or a cocker with the back block unthreaded so it doesn't ping. All American is just about the quietest barrel I've run across. The Mag with an AA is pretty bloody quiet too.

I have to say that the quietest i`ve heard is the Matrix, it have been modified by one pro team that i don`t remember the name, but that baby was really quiet.

The 2 quietest guns I've heard are Shockers w/ long barrels and the new stock bushmasters with the line-ported barrels.

However, the quietest you could get would be a Prolite with a 18" Smart Parts Teardrop and internal modifications to diminish the "ping" to nothing.

[magattack]

The bob long intimidator is pretty quiet too

[XspyX]

I'd have to say my Automag is pretty quiet. Maybe not the quietest but it is quieter than my friends Shocker s/f and 16" AA.

[emaggot4life]

I would have to also agree on the Shocker with the AA barrel. I love my cocker and it is very quiet, but the back block going "Click" is anoying.

[Micromag5371]

Ooh, boy I can tell you what the lodest is.
my friend had a micrococker, and it had an aluminum dye (I think) and he was dryfiring it in the staging area to get the timing down. Boy oh Boy, damn i thought i had a 30/06 besides me. I took out my micromag, gassed it up and dry fired it and every body just kinda gave me a wierd stare...my gun was wispering compared to that micrococker.
