I dont think you could keep the balls from rattling, but you could probably put something on the outside of your hopper to absorb the sound. -------------

I can't think of anything that you could put on your hopper that wouldn't make it huge. I think that pink styrofoam insulation would work, but you would probably want to shave it down. You can buy acoustic foam that might work. Honestly I can't think of many things that would silence your paintballs rattling. -------------

| I know this was awhile back. But what kind of dynamat did you use? and have you found something that works better? |
