I just constructed this shroud out of 1 1/2" PVC. I plan on lining the interior with floam for sound cancellation, and of course painting the exterior. The porting is strictly cosmetic. This prototype is much lighter than the original aluminum shroud. Ill post additional pictures upon completion. -------------

Especially considering the fact that it is a conceiled (sp?) silencer ------------- http://img329.imageshack.us/my.php?image=picture0020xo.jpg">

you realize that putting foam on the inside of the shroud for a
flatline would do nothing what-so-ever. all the sound that comes
out of it comes out of the tip, there are not holes/porting in the
flatline so the only place the sound/air can ecape is out the tip,
which is the reason it's so loud, if you wanted to really silence it
you'd have to extend the shroud past the tip and put the foam there,
and putting a silencer on a paintball gun, although illegal will never
get you put in jail unless someone specificaly tells the police about
it, police dont go around searching paintball guns to check if they
have silencers on them

dont call that pipe PVC, because its not. thats ABS pipe.
PyROphantasie has a point. theres no porting in the flatline barrel |

i realized that shorlty after posting. id planned on the foam to absorb the "ping" noise from the aluminum shroud, but the use of PVC takes care of that. -------------

the "ping" coming from the aluminum shroud is so small and
insignificant compared to the "BOOM" that comes from the actual shot
that doing any mod to specificaly get rid of it would be pointless and
a waste of time

You wouldnt be the first or the last person to use PVC (yeah, I said it!  ) as an alternative to shroud the A5 Flatline Barrel.------------- Do not steal....the government hates competition!

pointless and a waste of time...hmmm...whats the point of making an alternate shroud in the first place? isnt that a waste of time? what about playing paintball? couldnt we all be doing something more constructive and meaningful? i mean whats the point of it anyway? oh yea, to have fun! if u dont agree with my custom work, fine, thats your opinion, go ahead and BUY every corprate manufactured product u can afford. maybe i think that the "ping" noise is annoying while the general "boom" as u put it is fine? this mod would be perfect for me, the one whos making it. anyways, the final product should be complete by the end of this weekend, ill post some pix, should be a lot of fun to make -------------

if ur aiming to make it quieter that way, it wont work by lining the inside with foam, being that the gas excapes at the end of the barrel and not through the sides of it. ------------- A-5 Flatline E-Grip Tapco T-6 stock JCS Duel Trigger JCS Universal BiPod Core Remote 88ci/4500psi Crossfire R-5 Hopper Apex Barrel Hot Shot red dot Lapco offset Spec Ops A5-A2 grip |
