Quiet Airgun?

[tat2dman]

Ma pount was I`ve never been able to quiet anything down without some cash changin hands,,,sorry for the reply...

Ditto what TCups said........build yourself a silent pellet trap........makes a big difference & would be a good place to start.

Wally,,buy your neighbors some ear plugs & pizza with anchovies..LOL! If they are complaining about the Whisper,I really don't think there are springers any quieter!  Big Bill gave you a great idea,I'm probably gonna try it myself!

I agree, I think I'll try Big Bill's idea & see what happens. I just hope I can find some music that the sparrows enjoy.
Like BumbleShot said: "They're not as stupid as they look!"
I really like my Tuna tuned Whisper & really don't want to give it up & get something else just to appease the neighbors.
Some of you replied about the noise that a pellet makes when it hits a backstop or trap, thanks for the suggestions but I do not shoot at anything other than "back yard pests" like sparrows, starlings, rats, etc & since I have miles of open space directly behind my house, pellet noise isn't really an issue.

You can actually hear the pellet fly with them 1000 fps advertised airguns so having something with less speed and less internal noise would be good. My suggestion would be 22 cal CO2 at about 800fps and a moderator, although moderator may not be legal where you live. To compensate you could try a long barrel, I believe you can have Crosman guns with custom barrel lengths.

how about a talon ss in .22 ?    I think that is as quiet as quiet comes. and american made to boot.    John

Hi John,
Thanks for the suggestion. I know comparing the talon ss with the beeman r7 is like comparing apples & oranges but from a strictly noise level aspect, do you think that the talon ss would be quieter than the Beeman R7?
Thanks,
Wally

The Talon SS isn't as quiet as advertized,it needs a bit of tweaking!

[jct842]

I can't answer that about which one but I am sure some one will chime in.  I do know that a couple of my co2 crosmans are a lot quieter than say a b-26 or a rws45.  all I can say is I have some "weight hanging on the front of barrel to stabilize the pellets"  co2 in a talon too might be some thing to check.  as far as I am concerned all spring guns make noise from the spring regardless what comes out of the barrel and there is no way to stop that noise. some making more than others and those with a tune will be smoother and less noisey.  john

I'm sure the SS with C02 will be quieter oppose to an SS with air! A tuned Whisper is pretty quiet !

My 'Gene-tuned' RWS 34P .22 is MUCH quieter than my stock Whisper .177.
