How to make a mag deadly quiet?

[pisspuddle15]

I was wondering what barrels or bolts will make a mag very very very quiet?
I mean barely hear them quiet?

get a barrel with lots of porting, and ummm thats about all you can do to make a mag quiet i beileve...

Question is- what do you want this for?

Sniper?

Did they ever make a BOA Concealer for a 'Mag?

[Krazy Ivan]

They did.. I owned one... It was cool looking, but still loud, get a boomstick, quietest barrel I've used so far. Much quiter than the concealer. The concealer doesn't have much porting compared to a boomstick.

if you have access to a machine shop......make a sound suppressor. a friend of mine works as a machinist and made one. his mag is so quiet you can barely hear it 20 feet away. I have been hit by him and didn't even realise he was shooting at me.

oh ya...he put it on a stock crown point too

Last I heard, sound supressors were illegal. I may wrong, but I think that's the rule. Doesn't matter if it's a paintball gun or real firearm.

But yes, a gun with heavy porting on the barrel will make it quiet. But then your air efficiency goes out the window.

nah.....we contacted the ATF and asked them. as long as it cannot be altered to suppress sound on a real fire arm.......they dont care.

I found a noticable noise drop when I upgraded to my level ten. then I got a freak barrel (before I was running a dye stainless) and it was even quieter which was prolly do to the porting and the fact that I changed over to aluminum.

i got a concealor. it seemed quieter than my boomer. maybe its just my expectations of it make it seem quieter. it still looks pretty cool i think =)

I found more info on paintball silencers on this site:

Its all about how you interpret the law.

true that.

what i dont get is why they call it a boom stick if its so quiet?!?! LOL

If you use a ported barrel that uses a long enough unported section to efficiently get the ball up to speed and then enough porting (not too much though, the air has to disperse gradually) past that point to disperse any excess air, then you will have a quiet barrel.

you should probably take a look at dye and smart parts barrels. they have a ton of porting. i'd get it in a 14". thats long enough to make it quiet, while keeping it at a reasonable length.

i had a 14" dye aluminum on my mag. it was pretty quiet, and it shot nice. (medium bore paint)

I've been thinking about his. I think you can make a legal suppressor by using barrel with lot of porting, and wrap sponge type foam rubber (needs to be fairly soft and porous) on the barrel. Kinda like the foam rubber grip for bicycle handlebar or pipe insulation.

You can claim that it is barrel protection. I should test it out and see what kind of benefit if any. You don't have to worry about legality as it cannot be retrofitted to a real gun. should be cheap to test.
