Does anyone know how to quiet down an old RT?

[Durfae Celebcu]

I just bought an old RT and it's working great. I love everything about it except the fact that every time I shoot it sounds like an actual gunshot, which I don't mind that much, but my neigbors are getting sick of it. Does anyone know of any upgrades or just ways to adjust the gun to make it quieter. Thanks

I've already got an AA on it, and it is still one loud momma-gomma. Any other ideas?

were you dryfiring?? or were you puttin paint through it.. if you were dryfirin, thats why, my gun sounds really really loud when i dryfire..

That's with paintballs, but I had just filled my tank and it could have something to do with that. But when I went down to about 1000 psi, it was a little quiter, but still loud as a mug.

Have you chronographed the gun yet? The velocity might be too high. Mags get REALLY loud if they're shooting hot.

Having a full tank wouldn't do that.

Do you have any aftermarket parts on the internals? New bolt/valve or anything?

ok, mags only need a 750-850 PSI input, any higher and it wont help at all, it will just put more strain on your air lines and valve internals
if it is over 850psi input pressure


also, chrono the gun and turn the velocity down to 260-280 and that'll make it quieter also :)
