Quietest cocker barrel

[SlartyBartFast]

so your saying all guns sounds the same when you shoot them?

Well, without paint and without a barrel they should sound the same....

umm... have you ever shot more than one gun? different guns sound quite different.

[magman007]

all markers sound differently. It has to do with how violently the gas is distributed. Look at a ram driven gun, one really fast burst of air, matrix, a lighter, more smoothe release of the air, etc etc. ram drivne guns really pop.

Thinking about it, this is probably due to the bolt shape. Not the mechanism.

The burst of air is almost identical on all markers (TKs graphs showed that).

But, I could be wrong. whatever...

its what magman said, plus the movement of the actual parts in the gun. its most noticeable on cockers.

No, the "rush" of air is about the same regardless of which marker you're firing.

TK provided the graphs of pressure behind the ball at one point.

Movement of the parts in the gun is only relevant once your barrel is quiet.

take 2 different markers, fire both with their barrels off simultaneously... you will see what i mean

I cant believe that slarty is arguing that all guns have the same sound signature. lol.

Barrels are not the only thing that cause a sound signature. Sorry, but they just arent. You have to shoot a lot more guns if you think so.

Guns sound different because of their pneumatics, too.

And another note. vikings are that loud. They are louder than trixes, and other guns. My viking is slightly louder than my Ion. Both have stiffis. Vikings are not the quietest guns on the market either, but they certainly arent "loud". Unless your LPR is way too high and your dwell is up there, or you are using the javelin barrel or a bigshot, or some other non ported barrel.

Just off on a tangent. That's all.

The only thing that makes a "sound signature" should be the exit path and flow. Can't quite put into writing what I'm thinking on the subject, so like I said: whatever...

Another one of those three hundred variables and everone thinks one variable is the magic bullet.

Personally, I think I want to get a hold of an intimidator barrel. Go for LOUD.

J&J ceramic. Quietist barrel I have ever used.

I've heard that the ACI Phat system is really quiet due to a lot of reverse porting.

Haven't had the chance to use one yet though.
