    Posted: 07 April 2008 at 11:23am

ok so im thinking about getting a quieter gun and ive heard that Matrix's are really quiet, especially older ones, so there a couple DM3s floating around on ebay, are those pretty quiet?

 

and if there is one that is a lil more quiet id like to know, im not trying to be sneaky or anything, im just wanting a loud gun and a quiet gun to match

My Sniper is relatively quiet. I've heard that DMLCD's are quiet guns, but have no experience with them.

Autocker Trilogy Tactical (or any other cocker).  As I said from personal experience I put a 14" barrel and a delrin bolt in then boom... or should I say lack of boom.  Quiet and smooth with absolutely no kick.

Well the barrel helps a lot in quieting the gun. Gun with a blow back system will be a little louder but the barrel makes a big different.

Do you have a ported barrel? The ported barrels release the excess gas from the barrel and quiet the shot. You just have to know that where the barrel is ported it limits the effective range of the gun. If you take a 14inch barrel with 4 inches of porting the effective length of the gun is 10 inches because the last four inches dont let the gas push the ball. It should be ok as long as the effective length is at least 8 inches.

I've heard that hammerhead barrels are really quiet, but they're a bit expensive.

i know what barrel to get for it, im up to date with that aspect of it and i have a HAMMERHEAD and yes they quiet your gun, although the 98 i have it on is still quite loud, as well as being fairly expensive they do thier job. It gets the cheap paint to fly straight, that was my main concern, being quiet was lower on the list of needs in a barrel until i got to thinking about a quiet gun, now....

 

the GUN is the main issue im having right now so i would like someone who has had GUN experience to tell me (first hand preferably) which guns are quieter than others
