see my sig for specs on my gun. i was wondering if anybody would have
any idea on why my 98c sounds like a freakin hand cannon. when i go play at the fields, ppl think im shootin hot just by the sound of the thing, even though i chrono at 285 consistently. anybody have any ideas? thanks! ------------- 98c LPK Macdev 04 Gladiator reg 68/45 c-wrapped Crossfire Flatline BS E-bolt BS drop forward Halo B feedneck fix/trigger stop mod magnetict trigger mod Circle covers for hopper and tank |

well.. i figure it was suppose to be quiet after i got the LPK and nitro. i swear it was quiet when i had an expansion chamber + co2... oh wells, it was pretty funny the other week when i played, shootin 14bps and being that loud made ppl run like there was a bomb goin off... ------------- 98c LPK Macdev 04 Gladiator reg 68/45 c-wrapped Crossfire Flatline BS E-bolt BS drop forward Halo B feedneck fix/trigger stop mod magnetict trigger mod Circle covers for hopper and tank |

I scare the beejeesus outta people with my A-5, since I don't run to bunkers. I just walk up behind them, and start shooting at a guy over there, and they almost wet themselves when I start firing, since they didn't even know I was behind them. ------------- A-5 E-grip Chipley Custom Carbon Graphite 16" Evil Adapter(Spyder) 32 Deg New '03 XChamber Remote Line Gun Sling Sniper f/x Stock LPK 68/4500 HPA R-5 CP Reg JCS Duel Trigger |

go to radio shack, buy some 1/4 inch shrink tubing and shrink it on your sear spring (dunno if there are springs on the ebolt )

Yup, sounds like your barrel. When nOObs see shots comin from 150ft. away and think it's a friggin sniper rifle, it's fun to watch em' run around and scream like little girls. Guess there's always a plus side to things. I guess, because you're using a flatline, you could turn the gun down to about 275fps. It might reduce the noise a bit, and the flatline should shoot a little better. But, if you are a speedballer, like You WOn't See Me said, it doesn't really matter; plus, a flatline's not exactly a speedball barrel anyway. ------------- Watch out! Flying Barrel Plugs!

no shrink tubing on the ebolt, cuz well... theres no sear... and if i do metoera's suggesting.. i mite as well throw the paintballs instead of using a gun! hahah. as for the speed ball, i dunno... i dont really classify my self as a speed or rec ball player....i just... i just love to shoot ppl (especially in the goggles, its fun when they run around like headless chickens....) ------------- 98c LPK Macdev 04 Gladiator reg 68/45 c-wrapped Crossfire Flatline BS E-bolt BS drop forward Halo B feedneck fix/trigger stop mod magnetict trigger mod Circle covers for hopper and tank |

Why woudl you need to throw them? do you not know how to adjust it right??turn the lpr all the way off with air in the gun, the turn it slowly on so you hear it gas up then give it one turn more, now adjust the reg, do this by turning it off then slowly adjusting it higher, then adjust the velocity, i did this to my gun and my friends gun and they are really quiet, if you do it right it works great ------------- http://imageshack.us">

| Well Tippmanns are known for being loud, I mean my A-5 sounds like a bazooka but it works fine so I really don't care, it really just makes an intimidation factor for me. |
