Suppressor/Silencer with Bolt Action Spring Rifles

[AoiShikaku]

Hi,

Before I start I'm pretty well aware of the noise that travels through the hallow case, and the noise that is caused from the piston going outward. So for this experiment lets just say you put a pillow over it and wrapped up the entire gun in sound proofing foam all around it except the barrel's end. So the noise that is being produced is from the barrel end.

Since there are a vast number of suppressors/silencers out there what would you recommend to help silence the noise from the barrel end as best as possible. I've seen so many variations out there and have seen some of them disassembled and are pretty much junk. I'm kinda looking for the best that will reduce the noise... so multi-walled, sound proof foam pads, perfect diameter, etc. anything that will reduce sound to it's maximum limit.

What can you guys recommend and why? (please don't mention home made solutions. I am currently working on a project and don't want to add this to my plate.)

My vsr:

body cavities filled with melted hot glue

9" foam filled silencer

it's very quiet.

I think you can try to modify the inside of the piston with a cut out sorbo pad. Just an idea.

I'm not sure what putting anything inside a piston would do?

Why hot glue? Couldn't you use ridged spray foam to fill the void? Or mix a batch of epoxy to fill?

They already have sorbo pads made specifically for BA's

Theres a reason most Experienced BA Owners will not put a sorbo pad in their BA.

Lets see if anyone can figure it out.

Hints :
It involves the physical properties of the material.
It is directly related to the accuracy of the rifle.

so... trying to steer our way back to what was asked...

Anyone on suppressors?

spray foam leaves small air pockets, mixing enough epoxy to fill the buttstock of a VSR-10 is a huge pain in the ass and MUCH more permanent than hot glue if I ever choose to change it.
