They are considered illegal in certain states, and I wouldn't bother
with one anyways, they are sort of heavy, and they really don't help
with the noise, and from what I have experienced, they slow down the
ball a lot too. I just wouldn't worry about noise reduction,
because by the time you're shooting at someone, they'll probably see
you anyways, even if your gun is really quiet. ------------- [IMG]http://i27.tinypic.com/1538fbc.jpg"> Squeeze Box ☣ |

Ya antman they are right, you don't need a silencer. Just get a good barrel like J & J or the lapco bigshot |

Use the search button. There was a very mature, well thought-out, thread on this a while back. It included an excerpt from the ATF rules governing silencers and links to barrels with built in silencers that are legal. -------------

http://www.endgameinc.com/ - http://www.endgameinc.com/ They're only illegal if they work on an actual firearm (your state government may or may not classify a paintball gun as a firearm). But, the link above contains a barrel that works like a silencer. Since it can't screw onto a rifle or assault rifle, it's legal. You may also want to get the comp-air system (LPW) to make your gun quieter. *edit* I would suggest getting the 14". The 10" doesn't have enough unported barrel for accuracy reasons. ------------- 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 |

| Silencers are usless in speedball but im sure you might find a good use for them in the woods. (a big woods course) I personally dont like them and would never use them. |

Silencers are illegal. In order to use them you need to file some paperwork and pay a $200 tax to the BATF. Thats after they deem the silencer cannot be used on a true firearm. ------------- A-5 E-Grip JCS Dual Trigger DOP X-CORE 8 stage x-chamber Lapco Bigshot 14" Beadblasted Optional setup: R/T Dead on Blade trigger |

Incorrect. Only one or two states ever did so. In 1988 paintball was legal in 48 states. It was not legal in Massachusetts or New Jersy. I don't remember what the justification for this in Massachusetts was but the reason in NJ was based on the states legal definition of a firearm. NJ law stated a firearm was any weapon designed to expel a projectile using gas from a cartridge. The NJ lawmakers considered 12 gram CO2s cartridges. It took paintball advocates two sessions of the legislature to get this overturned. If I can find a link to the case I will add it below later. Edited Note: Okay, finding this was easier than I thought.

I like knowing stuff and I enjoy searching for that knowledge. As someone once said, knowledge is power. Also, I really don't like being wrong, so if I'm not sure about something I usually keep my pie-hole shut. -------------

Jesus, it's just a ported barrel with a large chamber. Using the ATF definition of a silencer and a firearm, ANY device used to quieten the report of a firearm is illegal without getting it approved. SO, that means ALL of you, yes, all, have illegal devices on your paintball guns. If any of you are still scratching your heads, I'll clarify for you. PORTING quietens the report of oyur paintball gun. The stock barrel for the A-5 and 98's have holes in them- therefore, buy just buying a Tippman you have bought an "illegal" item. And most of you don't have Stiffies, so pretty close to all of you have "silencers." I brought up this point last time when forumers had the ATF rules posted, and I easily debunked it because almost every barrel breaks those guidelines. ------------- 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 |

" Porting on a barrel is not considered a “Silencer” since it is integral with the structure of the barrel and the “Porting” obviously can’t be modified for a Firearm and is not portable, Yes, I know there are quite ported barrels out there, but porting in the barrels cannot be transported to or adapted from the paint barrel to a true firearm. It sounds like silly splitting of hairs and very obvious to you and I, but, the Distinction is VERY important to Governmental types, and is the difference between a $50,000 fine and/or 5yrs in a Federal prison." www.paintballzone.com ------------- A-5 E-Grip JCS Dual Trigger DOP X-CORE 8 stage x-chamber Lapco Bigshot 14" Beadblasted Optional setup: R/T Dead on Blade trigger |

Just having one would still be illegal. Or at least I would think it is. Smoking pot's illegal, possesing it is too. ------------- A-5 E-Grip JCS Dual Trigger DOP X-CORE 8 stage x-chamber Lapco Bigshot 14" Beadblasted Optional setup: R/T Dead on Blade trigger |

Ok--------------
If you want to make a silencer, it's easy bro. You need a barrel with porting already on it to do a good job of it, so make sure you have that. Take fabric of some kind like polar fleece or part of an old towel (or paper towel in a pinch) and wrap it around the porting (don't miss any.) You can tape the starting end of the fabric to the barrel if you need to, but try not to cover too much porting. Tape the outside of the fabric to hold it together and wrap it large enough to slip the outside tube on securely. For the outside tube, a cardboard shipping tube is the right size and not too heavy; you can use PVC or something but it's heavy. Whatever, it's not that important. Slip it over the outside and you are good to go. This only works with barrels with 4-8 or more inches of porting... If your barrel doesn't have porting, option 2 is to make an inner tube of a small pvc pipe with tons of holes drilled in it that slips over the end of the barrel, and projects out past the end of the barrel by 6-8" (or more, whatever), then you tape that down to the end of the barrel, and wrap it up with fabric like before. Simple, enjoy. PS. Silencers aren't completely effective, and they're heavy like crazy. I'm not elaborating on these instructions either, it's simple yo. ------------- http://www.kiolia.com/shadowfolk">

My point exactly YWSM. Someone stated the barrel with the built-in silencer would still be illegal. I stated that it wasn't. ------------- 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 |

Porting isnt that kind of a silencer though. Its just holes. Lets just agree to disagree on this one. ------------- A-5 E-Grip JCS Dual Trigger DOP X-CORE 8 stage x-chamber Lapco Bigshot 14" Beadblasted Optional setup: R/T Dead on Blade trigger |

Porting is there to help stabilize ball flight by reducing the turbulance around the ball as it exits the barrel, a side affect is that it is quiter. ------------- "Here are beauties which pierce like swords or burn like cold iron." -C.S. Lewis |
