Well all I can say about that is when I have been out shooting with my mate, (He shoots a HW97 running at 11.3 fps in .22), also he shoots bunnies and I have seen him shoot at a group about 30 yards away, take one out and the rest run off, later with a silencer fitted also at the same spot he took 4 bunnies out of five, before the last one got wind of what was going on and scampered off. Possibly you don’t realise the usefulness of a silencer owing to the Canadian gun laws and not being able to use them. In the UK hundreds of thousands of air gunners can’t all be wrong, also the people living around me all know I shoot airguns, and occasionally I will fire a gun without a suppressor fitted especially when setting up a silencer ( checking the poi ) and the phone will go off and someone will ask me to keep the noise down, so I just put the silencer back on and no more problems, and this is all practical experience.

It was still pretty loud with the moderator and foam piece, but conciderably quieter than without. I gave up on it and just grab the Condor if I want quiet.

Some guns are louder then others. But to me it seems completely random, especially after Al's story... _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Sat Dec 06, 2008 9:41 am lauchlin Supporting Member Joined: 21 Feb 2007 Posts: 184 Location: Vancouver Island BC filo wrote: does a muzzlebreak would help in anything? do you recomend any? for a diana 34.... thanx for all your comments.. I have never really noticed a differences with the break on or off but they make a great cocking handle ......... i   Posted: Sat Dec 06, 2008 3:17 pm AirGunEric Site Admin Joined: 20 Jan 2007 Posts: 6908 Location: "Out There" lauchlin wrote: I have never really noticed a differences with the break on or off but they make a great cocking handle ......... That is true enough- larger overall and easier to grab ahold of- and if the front sight has been removed to install it- no worries about breaking (that's sort of a pun I guess) anything! _________________ ` I'd say "I care."

Sorry for the half a$$'d necro but doesent that mean someone could just weld a silencer on the end of their AG and have it be legal? The problem is Snowbunny that if you can weld it on a gun, then you can saw it off and weld it on another and the authorities would not like that. The Gamo gets away with it because the suppressor is an integral part of the gun. Why not pay $200.00 for a licence and fit what you like legally.

They probably custom make them too- for a bit extra. _________________ "I never set out to be wierd, it was always everyone else who called me it" -Frank Zappa Speed is impressive, accuracy is deadly.
