Can someone please tell me how to make a silencer?

[hotshot409]

can someone please tell me or send me to a link of how to make a silencer for your barrel ( my barrel is a large bore All american)

[toadman7b22]

check www.stinggroup.addr.com

they dont really do that well but what ever floats ur boat

I can not tell tou how to make a 'silencer', that might be illegal.

However I can tell you how to make a barrel shroud 'suppresor'.

Things to keep in mind. Unless you have the proper federal and state licenses, Making a supresor that can either fit on, or readily be adapted to fit on a real firearm is a felony offense.

Do not make one with any metal or threaded parts.



What you will need to do this.
One ported allamerican or similar barrel 16' to 18' is probably the best lengths.

3' or larger Pvc tubing- cut to match the length of the ported area on your barrel.

Large rubber o-rings- find these in the plumbing dept at home depot.

Foam or cloth padding, cut to wrap around your barrel.

Cheap scope sight rings

Assembly is easy

Put one sight ring as far down the barrel as you can, past where the porting begins. This will keep the oring at that end in place.

Slide one o-ring down to the sight mount. wrap the foam around the barrel, and tape it in place if you want with electrical tape.

Drill 4-6 small holes in the pvc, these are to allow gasses to escape. Slide the drilled and cut pvc over the foam and oring. If the o-ring is a good size, it should be a tight fit.

Add your other o-ring to the open end.

Secure it with the remaining scope mount.

Add the barrel to the marker, Point it in a safe direction and notice the difference. It will not be silenced, but the noise wil be signifigantly reduced. It will be quieter with paintballs than with dry firing.

Please use proper safety precautions at all times while constructing this.

this is how i built my watchamacallit... i made mine long enough so it would cover all my air ports and then alittle longer so that it went about 3inches past the end of the barrel thus making the last bit of sound when the paint exits the barrel it is quieter..

[mntnair]

give me one good reason for anything you just said...

1.kills your rate of fire

2.makes your balls curve

3.slows down balls by 10 feet

you dont know what you are talking about..

and if we like to make things and tinker around even if they dont work its still fun to try.

:laugh:

Incube, they have these neat things called CRONOGRAPHS at almost every good place to play paintball. If the paint leaves your barrel at a certain speed, its not going to slow down because there was a supressor on the barrel. And only a very poorly designed and constructed one would cause your shots to be erratic. A design like mine that uses the barrel as the core of the supressor will give the same accuracy as it did before the sup. is installed.

How Supressors work- The 'bang' you hear when you fire a paintgun is caused by gasses moving at a high rate of speed leaving the barrel. This creates an effect similar to when you 'pop' your cheek with your finger. A supressor provides an area for these gasses to dissapate and decelerate, thus decreasing overall pressure at the end of the barrel. This is what quiets the marker down. Incedentally this is also why a longer barrel will be quieter than a short one. A longer barrel gives the gass more room to expand behind the paintball thus decreasing relative pressure, and the 'bang'

Hope you find this explanation amusing.:laugh:

:confused: Huh? And your contribution to this thread is.. what?

[mntnair]

the only excuse for ignorance it silence

[ThaFiend]

well I made one out of two PVC tubes, brillo padding, and a little electriacal tape.
take your barrel to the hardware store to make sure the small PVC tube fits snugly on the end of your barrel, then drill holes all over the small ( I have about 50 in mine ) with a 1/4 drill bit,then wrap the brillo padding over the small tube and use electrical tape to make it stay there. When all of that is finished all you have to do is slide the larger PVC pipe over the brillo wrapped pipe and you're all set, I'm not sure how to make sure the larger pipe stay on the smaller one, so what I did was I wrapped the brillo padding over it A LOT untill the large pipe barely fit on the small one...... Hope that made sense

happy i deleted my posts from this thread now you may move on with your thread good bye ill learn to keep my opinions to myself for some people can handle what others think cuz it makes them questiopns something and they dont want to be proven wrong. and i tottaly agree that i should be flamed cuz i used the first amendment!

making a silencer is illegal to do. i read this somewhere, and it says putting one on there makes it a firearm. i dont remember where i read it, or if it was even correct. bu i did read it and im not lying. well cya

:agree:

You are partially correct. If you construct anything that can be readily fitted to a real firearm, you are breaking the law. That is what makes construction of silencers or supression systems kind of a grey area in paintball. Where the setup attaches, what it is made out of and where it is fitted to the gun all affect the legality. If you made an all metel silencer with a threaded end that screws onto the end of your barrel, that would be definately Illegal.

However, constructing what basically amounts to a barrel shroud with some foam inside out of materials that cannot withstand the highpressures of firearms use, is not. The designs presented by mntnair and myself cannot be used or adapted to a real firearm. To create such a system with a real firearm you would have to port the barrel, wich is in itself Illegal.

Check with the local law before constucting anything though, especially if you live in Kali or any other state with strict gun laws. Local ordenances always take precedence. Dont just ask a cop, they will probably not know and will just tell you no to be on the safe side.
