Quietest AEG

What is the most quiet AEG in your expirence and do silencers work?

i cant say the quietest gun because i havnt handled to many but with silencers, the dont help. the noise is created in the gear box and not eh bb leaving the barrel. maybe it would help in a gas gun, but i think they are just for show...

^You obviously haven't used a gun with a good silencer

Unfortunately, the "good" ones are technically illegal through ATF's rules.

I have an element 10" foam filled silencer, and it works like a charm. Makes the muzzle pop virtually disappear from 15-30' away. You still hear the gearbox, but that can be dealt with as well.

Can you provide a link and will it work with a KWA M4. Also what is the quitest AEG in your expirence Booligan?

In my experience silencers do stop the popping noise at the muzzle ,but the gear box still makes a good amount of noise. I've only heard roomers ,but still have never seen a silent gearbox. However, Booligan said that the gearbox can be dealt with as well so can you show us how with a link or something. Also, no aeg I have seen has that great of a sound difference from gun to gun.

Quietest AEG I've ever heard was a JG AUG. The owner put in a silent piston and cylinder head set, shimmed it perfectly, and lined the inside of the body with thin foam sheets, and covered the gearbox with dynamat. Externally, he added a phantom silencer kit, which he made fully functional with some methods that I won't describe here to keep the site out of trouble.

You still heard it, but it was substantially quieter than any other AEG I've ever heard.

And prodigy, as far as I know, the KWA M4 is threaded 14mm- so pretty much any silencer will fit, as long as it is threaded 14mm-. For foam filled ones, you have to look overseas, at shops like WGC shop and Dentrinity.

No you dont, Trinityairsoft.com sells foam filled silencers. I bought a TM short type pro silencer from them. I cant say all their silencers are foam filled, but that particular one is. Email them in advance just to make sure

Thanks guys, Sgt can you send me a link please.

sure thing, here is there selection of silncers and flash hiders. Again email them just to make sure theyre foam filled.

^Nice find.
It's a legal grey area, since some airsoft mock silencers CAN fit on real guns, and while it most likely won't silence it much, if at all, (and the foam will burn/blow off and the can will probably burst) according to ATF rules, if it is capable of silencing by even 1dB, then it must be manufactured by a properly licensed company, and is subject to background investigation and a $200 tax stamp.

They generalize all foam filled silencers as such, and they get snagged in customs upon import, which is why it's surprising to see a foam filled one in a US shop. You can ge tthem in through some HK stores because they usually label small shipments as gifts, and customs never touches them.

the King Arms silentoption silencer silences up to 75%... its what i have on my DMR and all that can be heard is the GB but that is because i have an aluminum piston head... if only i had a silent piston head...

I have heard that silent piston head does not do much (but i'm sure it's better than aluminum). Here is a review:

Wow that cool, where did you get said silencer?

I got mine from nitroairsoft.com, but he has since closed down. You can find it at WGC shop I believe.

Forgive me, perhaps I have been away longer than I thought but what is WGC?

This looks interesting:
