can my A5 be quiet?

I have an A5 is their any upgrades or any products that will make my A5 more quiet???

u r gonna have to drop some $ but if u really really want to an
expansion chamber, remote line, and a endgame compsession
barrel

if im wrong forgive me but iv heard that boom stick barrels are real quiet

atleast a5's aren't louder than the 98c flatline, i think thats the loudest thing on the field..

 

It is a tippmann, it will never be 'quiet'.

You can lower the noise a little, but as long as your gun features a heavy piece of metal clanging about inside a metal cage, you are pretty much guaranteed a good amount of noise.  An A-5 can not be truly quiet.

a silencer isn' gonna quite the bolt hitting the back of the valve

if you want to quite that down you can put a piece of self adheasive cork on the front of the rear bolt

^ now there's a thought

yes but it greatly decreases the sound. the sound is from pressurized gas that comes out of the gun making a "pop" sound, if you will. since the majority of the gas exits through the barrel, and all of the gas coming out of the barrel is absorbed by the silencer, then that eliminates almost all of the sound of the gun.

Ugh, another one of these.

OK- When you pull the trigger on a stock A-5, you release air compressed at 800 POUNDS per SQUARE INCH. That means in an 1" x 1" square will have 800 pounds of force pushing on it. Its like having a large horse sit on your head.

The outside air, however, is compressed at about 14 psi.

Now, imagine an 800 gallon fish tank. Big, huh? Now, stab a small hole in the glass. BAM! The entire glass wall that was holding it a second ago has now exploded and water is rushing out REALLY FAST. Thats how your paintball gun works, and thats why it makes noise.

Thats why those expensive guns that use 150 psi and 45 psi are so quiet. DROP the operating pressure- get an LPK, and do some mods to the gun. You can polish the internals and increase the spring tension to drop the psi of the gun. Also, Smart Parts has this patented but you can get a barrel that has the same area of holes as the end of the barrel hole. Whisper barrels work great. Get all this and do those mods and your gun will be pretty quiet. You may have to experiment with the Cyclone though- too much of a pressure drop and the Cyclone won't turn.
