Silent piston mod
19 August, 2011, 20:24
Okay so I may be herping and derping all over the place with this idea ... BUT
rather than spending £££ on a silent piston head ... couldn't you just add a thin foam ring on the end of the piston? To stop it smacking against the end of the piston, where it makes the noise?
(the same way as people put foam at the back of mac11's to speed up the ROF and to make it a bit quieter)
... so opinions on this idea?
I am aware there would be a drop in fps, but surely with lessened impacts it would improve the life of your gearbox amirite?
anyway this is just a thought don't know if anyone has tried it and I don't know if I will.

Haha yeah, this is exactly what sorbo does. Put it on your cylinder head and use it to correct AOE but it also has this effect.

Re: Silent piston mod
Sorbothane Pads and or Airbrakes are the most effective method at muzzle report, the motor is the other issue.
The common "silent" head sets are just replicas of Systemas set which wasnt very good anyway.
