less noise

anyone know of some modifications to lessen the noise from the gun (98 custom)? I dont mean things you buy from a paintball store, just like easy mods.

thanks

Tippmann 98 Custom:
Cyclone Feeder
Reponse Trigger
Flatline Barrel System
Expansion Chamber

Get a ported barrel or drill yours with a tiny drill head.

My guns name is Mr. Max in remembrance of my dog that got hit by a car: Tippmann A-5
Ricochet R-5
JCS double Trigger
Tippmann E-Grip
Flatline Barrel

The facts are that a correctly built silencer can make your marker dead quiet. Also, such devises, whether built for paintball markers or firearms, are illegal. And yes, to make a point, an officer from the BATF may arrest you if you have one installed. Even a plastic and foam unit intended for a paintball marker will silence a firearm for the first shot as it blows apart.

Barrel porting is the ONLY legal way to reduce the noise from a marker.

If you wanted quiet, you shouldn't have bought a Tippmann.

Don't know about that. 98C with the E-Bolt, Palmer, LPK, HPA I am getting pretty close to one of the really quiet markers on the field.

Ions are relatively quite.

Also, I know you didn't want anything, but if you added a rocket cock to your gun, that would make it a little quiter. In terms of free, about the only thing you can do is put some heat shrink tubing around your sear spring (or shrink wrap like one guy posted)

No, the rocket cock makes it so there are no more external moving parts on your gun. Everything moving is internal. The cocking nob doesn't move.

yes...If you are caught, you will be charged with Felony Weapons charges under the Federal Penal System. The police officer is obligated under the law to report the silencer to the ATF after it is confiscated and you are charged. Silencers are only illegal if you don't have the ATF approval note...and the $200 receipt for that note. To obtain the note, you must supply the ATF with a detailed schematic and parts list of the silencer and submit it for their approval. If approved, you must pay the $200 sur-charge.

The reason they are illegal is because any silencer made for a paintball marker can be modified to be used on a firearm...doesn't have to be a Magnum...can be a .17, .22 or .25 caliber...and that's what the ATF uses as their justification for the law.

Since I work in a prison and I am an avid firearm buff, please take my word for it and don't make one. Get a barrel with the most porting...like a Whisper or Quiet Riot and wrap a towell around the porting. That should be sufficient.
