The Quietist and Most Accurate Barrel

[Gunsmoke]

Hey guys, I was wondering what barrel is the most quietist and accurate barrel on the market. I'm playing woodsball for awhile. Please give your opinions and why? Thanks

Accuracy depends on paint to barrel match and consistancy of the marker. Does how audible the shot is really matter.

You would have to try different things i guess. Barrels really dont make the gun quieter enough to see a difference.

The barrel with the most porting usually will give you the most quiet set up. But the biggest factor in a quiet gun/barrel is the gun. You can't do much to make a spyder quieter. But on a cocker... a barrel that has a good bit of porting (Like a ultralight) will be pretty darn quiet.

Tippys and A-5's are not that quiet either no matter what barrel you use.

A lapco bigshot is a very good barrel. But it doesnt have that much porting so if you want a quiet barrel i would say go with a barrel with a ton of porting like a long smart parts all american. But it will relaly decrease your gas efficiency.

i have an old all americal on a tippy pro lite laying around, not a quiet marker still, but, for a pro lite, its very quiet.

Why, Hammerhead of course...

why would a barrel with more porting be any less efficient?

I was under the impression that "X" amount of pressure and volume were in the air chamber,
sealed until you pull the trigger... then "Y" micro seconds later it was sealed and recharged.

Doesnt the valve do a full cycle in less time than it takes for a ball to reach its "effective length"
the mag uses the on/off to seal the system so you shouldnt get any "blow by" while the bolt is cycling forward.

how much efficiency would you lose?

I have a 14 inch ported and a 14 inch non ported and have never seen a "noticable" differance in efficiency.

stiffi barrels seem very quiet to me, and since they come in kits accurate also.

Ok.. so what are some numbers as far as shot's lost by running a ported barrel?

One word for that "Ping!"


And the quietest most accurate barrel in the world is!!!! Dun dun duuuuuuuun!!! The Suppression unit on the H&K MP5SD of course....

All said and done, you want quiet? Get a barrel with heap of porting... and I mean more than like the DYE Boomers, SP All Americans, etc. just massive ammounts of porting. Rule of thumb, the more porting a barrel has, the quieter it will be. (Has to do with controlling the rate at which the propellant gasses are expanding into the atmosphere)

In my opinion (if money isnt a factor) the Hammer Head with fin kit. Mine is so accurate (with right paint which isnt really a prob with the kit) and it is very quite do it its porting. To explain it best it seems like all the sound is blasted backward because my marker sounds louder with it one but when Im in front of it is really quiet. Good Porting and works will all paint...just my opinion
