Barrel with tons of porting?
Stiffi's are supposed to be quite quiet but they are expensive. If you were going to mod it like an m82 though, wouldn't you kinda want a loud marker? |

Well i could get a stiffi but thats impractical but as an m82 i would like it to be like one of my friends autocockers... silent ------------- ~square peg~ |

Impractical how?
If you are going millsim though, why don't you want a super loud marker? |

the idea is not to be noticed but spose after the 10 shots id have to fire after relizeing the wind curve then hiting him in the face so loud it is so how to make it louder? ------------- ~square peg~ |

Its basically impossible to get an a5 as quiet as a cocker. Ported barrels help but it will not be too too quiet. Just kinda how it is. J&J straight barrels have a good amount of porting (the stiffi might have more though) and the J&J is much less expensive than the stiffi. ------------- Stay low, run fast, and hope that paintball doesn't hit your... http://www.deltasquad.info/">

Noise is up to you though. making something quieter doesn't really give you any advantage but making something louder can make it cooler if that's what you're into. |

ya know, the barrel break on the end makes it louder. the opsgear.com kit works well, and its loud. the barrel, if i remember right, has little to no porting. ------------- PSN Tag: AmmoLord XBL: xXAmmoLordXx ~Minister of Tinkering With Things That Go "BOOM!"(AKA Minister of Munitions)~ |

Why anyone would want a M82 paintball marker I do not know... I would suggest spending money on parts that are actually going to help with the performance of the marker, not parts that are going to make it into a brick. -------------

Im all about mil sim too but I will agree with snake. When you get that big and that long with the barrel it is going to make it somewhat ackward to lug around. Especially if you are running through woods at all. big gun + trees = ouch. Just kinda my opinion though. If you want to go for that look its your gun and money so go for it. ------------- Stay low, run fast, and hope that paintball doesn't hit your... http://www.deltasquad.info/">

Great. He used the S-word. Mack, you take this one. So far he hasn't been stupid enough that I need to inject a hard dose of fact into him. But I will monitor this thread, and if the situation calls for it I will put some truth into him. -------------

I'm assuming he means accuracy. Back on topic though: Why do you care about impractical in terms of the barrel when your going for an M82 look? I mean if you want to do the M82 thats fine, like Mack said if you like it then that's what matters. But since it's going to be horribly impractical anyways why not just leave the barrel as loud? It's really not going to make a huge difference. Because Tippmanns are high pressure markers, they can only be so quiet. Also, the fact that theres a massive piece of metal moving around inside doesn't help your sound signature. ------------- CPro (w/ polished internals) 14" Bigshot BT SBS Various Rails NcSTAR D4B Macro AA 68/45

Do you have an apex?
Without the apex/flatline, that range is not attainable at all let alone with that accuracy. |
