I made a silencer that works a little too well.

[BTAutoMag]

well if i disclose the info on how i made it i dont think its illegal. i mean you can find this info anywhere.

materials:
*1 1/16" inner bore PVC (could be different, try and match it to your barrel)
*2 pepsi bottles (some people use 2 inch diameter pvc but i find this a tad lighter.)
*drill with 1/8" bit
*toilet paper
*hot glue
*a barrel that will fit snugly inside of pvc (if its bigger thats fine but youll have to sand down the inside of the pvc)

fit the pvc over the barrel and see where it will hold snug. mark off where the end of the barrel is. draw lines down the pvc for refference (end to end, about 1/4" apart)
drill as many holes down the lines as possible (i got around 500 total) after thats done cut the bottom of the pepsi bottles of and then cut the tips off so you can put the large parts together and fit it over the pvc. then (while on the pvc) fill the bottles with the toilet paper. fit the two bottles together. and hot glue in place.

NOTICE: if you get in trouble for making one of these it is in no way my fault... remember, you constructed it

foam or steel wool will work too(steel wool is the best)

Fill it with toilet paper? Thats actually a good idea. All you have to do to make a silencer is to get a big PVC pipe and a smaller PVC pipe that is slightly bigger than the barrel and fill the gap with paper. I think that would work. I have seen one but i heard it takes your velocity down terribly.

Just thinking since the internals are toliet paper, the ATF would have a hard time proving it was for a firearms since using it with a real gun would set the whole thing on fire.

I don't know about that toilet paper thing, you're talking somantics- they don't care what you use (tp, scotch brite, steel wool) - they care that it silences the weapon. You can also call it whatever you want, if it silences a firearm and the ATF deems it so, then your in trouble. (I doubt that they would actually bothered to come after you.)
I've heard you can never get a straight answer from the ATF. (They keep the law vague to adapt to situations) I also agree with Facts of Life, in many areas paintball guns are considered firearms! Check your local ordinances to be safe. In some places you can't discharge a firearm within the city limits- including paintball guns!

read my second post ...

actually that was directed at everyone else. I think you're in a good position since the cops know about and don't care, but not everyone is going to check with the cops and pleading ignorance might not help you if you get in trouble.

well there are cobvents against them and airguns in my neighborhood but i shoot them all the time (not real guns)

anbd i carry my pb gun around and pellet gun around all the time no one cares iys louisiana ppl have guns...

i made a silencer for my mag once, okay about five or six times, but the last time it was made out of aluminum tubing, with about 100 holes in it(made to fit a teardrop barrel) housed in another larger tube housed in a larger tube, with o-rings sealing each end of each tube, even the barrel. The theory was to make a paintgun muffler, to make the gass travel farther to make the sound, well it didnt work extremely well, although i got the sound of the air coming out of the barrel almost gone.


oh i forgot, each piece of tube had holes in it, even the shroud over all of the tubing.



If you guys really want to make an effective suppressor or muffler, take a pop bottle or a peice 2" pvc or any tube like structure, and get a ported barrel. then make some styrofoam beads by scraping a wire brush across the polystyrene, sift until you get the smallest particles possible, and fill the tube with this stuff. the reason this cant be used in firearms is that it instantly melt when hit with flame. so basically it cant be used as a firearm. One more thing, you need some kind of filter for your ported barrel or peice of pvc with 500 holes in it, so that when you shoot, the only thing to come out of your barrel is a puff of smoke and a paintball, not about 1000 peices of styrofoam. good luck and happy sniping.

if this doesnt make sense disregaurd.

" no i wont tell you how to make it but heres a completely unrelated home depot recite.... tommoro il tell you how you can make a valve open really quickly, for all you people who want quick water..."
