Shrouded Barrels

[open season 21]

can any one tell me is a shrouded barrel supposed to make the gun quiet or quieter

than normal.

 

if not can you get a silencer to fit a shrouded barrel

 

THE REASON IM ASKING IS

 

JUST GOT MY NEW GAMO ROCKET OUT TO PLAY

 

Bloody hell its no wonder they call it a rocket THE CRACK AS YOU FIRE IT sounds likE it wouldnt be out of place on the launch pad of NASA

 

ANY ONE HELP WITH THIS ONE PLEASE

LOL

 

i heard in america they arent allowed silencers, so a shrouded barrel makes them a little quieter.

 

imagine the hw100 series...

 

the normal hw100, unsilenced, would be louder than a hw100 fsb without an additional silencer.

but a hw100fsb with an added silencer -I imagine- would be quieter than a silenced hw100

 

if that makes sence?

lol just let me get my eyes back into focus and stop them spinning round my head ha ha ha i think i follow that

my old aa s410k was louder than any air rifle i have ever heard in my life without the silencer fitted.

but just by silding that on and tightening a little grub screw it made it the quietest i had ever heard lol

Don't bother messing with shrouds unless your good at engineering. I got my mfr shroud silent, but I gave dodgy measurements. Only slightly off, but f**k me...couldn't group atall. But was deadly quiet.

I think as stated above its a way to get round silencer laws in america .I have thought it may protect a free floating barrel .but I will fined out now.

What's the diameter of the shroud? If its wide enough you can wrap the barrel with felt or scotchbrite to fill the void between the barrel and shroud which will improve it. I've done it to my S10 and it has made a difference. Not as good as a proper mod but helps ;-)

 

If you know any engineers you could get him to machine a mod adapter to fit the end of the shroud and with a 1/2" UNF for the mod ;-)

My Webley Venom Viper came with a shrouded barrel as standard, which reduced the "crack", but was not quiet. I unscrewed the end cap and fitted a silencer adapter, which was available online. I then fitted a lightweight SAK silencer onto this. Now it just puffs.
