working airsoft silencer
20 February, 2013, 17:17
Right guys ive been doing a bit of research on making a ASG mk23 silencer work but it could be used for pretty much any type of silencer and here's my little how to
List of required parts / tools
Fibre glass matting
suitable diameter pipe/barrel
0.40th plastic card
3mm drill bit
needle file
1. remove the end cap off the silencer and remove the internals
2. using a suitable diameter pipe/barrel measure and cut to the length of silencer but ensure you can still fit it to the gun
3. using the end cap off the silencer cut 1 circle out of 0.40th plastic card
4. now drill the barrel along the length using the 3mm drill bit i normally drill 5 holes per chamber and clean the swarf out the barrel
5. now thread the pipe into the silencer
6. pack the first section with fibre glass matting
7. now insert the 0.40th plastic dividers and continue as per no.6 till silencer is filled and refit the cap
note.
this is a basic guide not all areas have been cover and all silencers are different

Re: working airsoft silencer
By "fibre glass matting", do you mean the loft insulation stuff, or the stuff used in GRP.
I'd have thought the loft insulation would shed the glass fibres in a dangerous way.
If it's the GRP reinforcement, I'd have thought open-cell foam would work better.

Re: working airsoft silencer
For mine I heavily swiss cheesed a bit of 10mm id plastic pipe and wrapped it in sound deadening material. Poked in in the silencer and popped the end back on. Makes a noticable difference

hi yes it is the same stuff you get in you loft but due to there being a pipe the glass fibre cannot escape also if a minute bit did escape as long as it wasn't down some ones throat i think you would be fine but i found it absorbs more of the sound wave than foam does as the is more space for the wave to dissipate

Re: working airsoft silencer
If there's ANY way glass can get out of the matting, it will. That means ANY hole is too big.
I'd rather not have my gun, or anyone else's for that matter, launching tiny shards of glass out the front.
Shredded kapok or cotton wool (even wire wool) might work in the same way, and be much safer.

Re: working airsoft silencer
I've used dashboard anti slip mat and that was far more effective than regular foam as it's a lot more open celled

The average diameter of mmmf fibres is between 4-9um and they would be incabable of causing damage to anyone. Any fibres released would not have stable trajectories or travel much further than a few inches from the end of the barrel. I'd have much more concern over the 6mm piece of plastic weighing in at 0.2g with an energy level of approx 1joule hitting me. MMMF is perfectly fine as sound deadening and is highly effective as it is used in most motorcycle exhausts.

Ive filled a couple of mine with a 15mm copper tube drilled out with tiny holes all over it and filled the rest with the foam from an old memory foam matress. Its surprising how quiet it is.

Re: working airsoft silencer
Yes, because tiny glass fibres suspended in air are going to be so pleasant when I inhale them or they land on my contacts...

Re: working airsoft silencer
Hair curlers and scotchbright! 3 chambers, 1st & 3rd are the same length, the 2nd is half of 1 & 3. Separated by washers turned down to the exact internal diameter of the silencer tube.
Done!
Now go 15+ Mtrs away and get shot, you won't hear it, maybe the rifles action.
