it's not all about the barrel being quiet as it is the pressure if ur gun is at a low pressure like 300 psi ur gonna be pretty dang quiet. if u want the barrel quiet get about 3 inches of porting otherwise its gonna be too much of a gashog. any barrel will do fine as long as it as about 3 inch of porting (holes in the barrel) ------------- http://imageshack.us">

The 32* Whisper Barrel is pretty quiet, not that great, but quiet. I hear
the Stiffi barrel is supposed to be really quiet too. I use a J&J Ceramic on my A-5 and its decently quiet. -------------

The noise your barrel makes does not matter. If your shooting, the people on the other end are going to hear it. You might s well go for the loudest barrel possible to scare the bejeezes out of people when you sneak up on them. ------------- 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 |

thas true for speedball but for woods u want a little silence because that wouldnt be good for someone to spin on there heels and shoot u right in the mask without even looking becuz ur gun was so loud. ------------- http://imageshack.us">

Actually, once again. No matter what barrel your shooting, the people on the other team are going to hear the shots. The only way to silence it is to use a silencer and those are illegal. ------------- 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 |

Yes, they are illegal in paintball. The only legal "silencer" that you can use on a paintball gun is porting. ------------- 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 |

Talk with the ATF about it. Its because paintball silencers can be used on real firearms. If you want to use it go ahead. If i remember right its 5 years in prison plus like $20,000 fine. ------------- 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 |

no i was jw lol. yea i forgot about that its the same technology just different threads so anyone could take a pb silencer and add new threads for a real gun. yea that wouldn't be good. or u could just practice timing it and shoot the paintball and right after it leaves catch the sound in a jar and screw a lid on real fast. that would work. ------------- http://imageshack.us">

You are liable for ANYTHING the FEDS deem "noise reducing agent" on a firearm of ANY sort. This means that they can put you in prison and / or fine you $50,000 and up (yes, that's right) for starters. ATF Feds are sneaky bassads and don't give a fat rats arse about the fact that you aren't going to hold up a liquer store with your A5.If they catch you with a device that produces noise reduction on your marker - you're in for a close encounter of the "name on the list" kind. ------------- When we yell move - you move. |

Dude, shut it. If they make Freaks for the A-5, try one of them. The AA front has a LOT of porting, so it is quite quiet. |

Try to find someone with a 17 inch Stone Cold II barrel. Very quiet. |

Umm... when I play woodsball with my NME the other team usually never hears me shooting. They don't notice me shooting at all until the balls are hitting them. -------------

But it is not quiet. I shoot one. It is not quiet down range or for the shooter. The only barrel that makes more noise is the original Tippmann. |
