Bamaballer yes its true that to make a silencer its illeagel but thats to make one for a firearm. and paintball guns arent considerd firearms in the U.S. sence they are purely pnuematic. if theres any body who knows other wise plaease say somthing. |

get a piece of pvc pipe that will start about an inch
before the holes in the barrel start and extend about 1 inch over the barrel. drill holes in it about every inch or half inch. put it over the barrel and duct tape to secure it to part of the barrel BE SURE TO LEAVE THE END THAT EXTENDS OVER THE BARREL UNCOVERED. then stuff cotton balls between the barrel and pipe. then put some electrical tape over the end that extends past the barrel with the sticky side facing away from the gun and cut slits in it so when the ball comes out of the barrel theyll let the ball through but keep the cotton in. |

its illegal to make a silencer for any firearm, paintball
gun, or bb gun. if youre gonna use it and the cops find out its a silencer then youll be serving a few years in jail, unless you have that permit. and paintball guns are considered firearms why else do you think you have to be 18 to buy them? |

If they are considered firearms or not is a touchy matter. However, the ruling on silencers is that, if it can be modified to fit a firearm, it is illegal. So unless you can come up with some kind of design that is like integrated with the barrel and the gun or something, don't go make one out of PVC and get yourself arrested. ------------- It is the strong that make the weak. |

A paintball GUN (Yes, it shoots a projectile at potentally deadly velocities, it is a gun) needs a permit for a silencer. My friend and I looked into it once. If you make your own, you have to get it approved (they check how quiet it makes the gun, if its to quiet, they wont approve it) and then you have to get a permit. If you don't get a permit you can get into trouble and fined. I haven't heard of anyone getting thrown in jail for it but you will be fined I think $500. I've also heard of people who have tried to approve silencers being told it would cost them $200 + dollars. To add to it, they tend to reduce the velocity of the ball. ------------- You can go far with a smile. You can go a lot farther with a smile and a gun.

The ATF considers ANY silencer illegal, regardless if it is for a paintball gun or a bb gun or a spitwad gun. Tippmann does not allow discussions of illegal things on this forum, so here comes the lock. -------------
