Sorbothane Pads - Noisy Piston

[JayJay-2008]

Hi all, had been reading a few threads on noisy guns and in one thread it was mentioned by someone (sniper_jesus if I recall) that a good solution was to fit sorbothane or felt pads to the piston/cylinder heads.

Could anyone elaborate a little on this, i.e best methods and places to purchase the stuff?

I did have a quick look on 01 but couldn't seem to find it!

Thanks

Jay

It acts as shock absorber, it dissipates the impact power.

Applied on stock/bore up piston head.

Re: Sorbothane Pads - Noisy Piston

Is it possible to buy these from overseas then? Or would cutting the discs from a sheet work?

Thanks so far

It is very popular in US, Japan and Southeast Asia.

I got mine as a sample for review here in Europe (UK).

You can buy it in US.Forgot the website though.

It is great for our set up here 328-370FPS of whatever ROF.

My initial test passed with flying colors. 350fps 25ROF and 2 bags of 5000 rounders bb's later and it's fine. Constantly checking the set up at half a bag.

It is not so good in SE Asia as their standard FPS is 450FPS of whatever ROF.

I won't recommend the 1st gen., what they send me was the 2nd gen. and it was perfect.
