Loud Gun

[theburlyblacksmith 0]

Just got me an old .22 air rifle, been out with it tonight and tried it on some bunnies and its loud as f**k. If i dont hit the first one in the field then all the others are gone and i dont get another shot and oi go home empty handed. Is there a way to decrease the sound? Sounds like a spring or something, but not too sure, 1st air rifle so Im a bit crap when it comes to them.

 

Cheers

I once went out (poaching )with a old poacher in the 90's, he brought a .22 bsa with a 2 litre bottle of pop (empty) on the end of the barrel!!!! I don't know what is was like without but fuxk me it went with a crack.

BSA Supersport are very quiet for spring guns i'd buy another tmrw at the right price, very quiet (or was that just mine?) Sold in to a age'd chap fron down south that wanted it for target shooting. I've got a HW80 on top of the wardrobe (less stock) I keep saying i'm going to re-enstate it but my Air Arms allways says otherwise.
