How To Keep A Compact Impact Quiet But Still Staying Compact?

[brawler1588]

Ok so I just picked up a impact compact .25 I have a full size .30 caliber so I want to keep this as short as possible for a walking around gun and backyard grab and go gun so it came with 2 shrouds the carbon fiber one that has the fx stackable the other is the telescoping shroud. I have not tested either but I am sure they won't be very quiet. I can try and make them work maybe throw a decent moderator on the carbon shroud or do I get a skinny moderator that can go straight to the barrel nut and clear the 300cc bottle. Another option i am looking at is the huggett Dedicated Shroud, or a custom made shroud from neil he said he can make me one thats a solid piece with a total length of 14" and can be screwed on to the barrel nut or attached using a grub screw which will be quiter. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

where do you get that wrap from im getting a uragan king and thought i might wrap the twinn bottles with that for protection

get a bigger silencer i bet a 6 inch sumo would really work but it adds length kind of catch 22

I have a sumo on my Impact compact 22 and it quiets it down.but it still isn’t super quiet.

My son has the Tanto on his Maverick. It’s very quiet. The FX-DonnyFL moderator isn’t bad either. The Tanto is slim and just looks “right”

How would you compare the tanto vs the fx by DonnyFL moderator?

The largest they have is 50mm the tanks are around 60mm its a pain in the a$$ but worth it.

Tanto on straight barrel nut or on the shortest shroud I have you think? I have a sumo and a shogun plus the huma module one guess I need to play around with it and find a happy medium.

If you're going to use the 300cc bottle, you can use pretty much whatever mod you want with the CF (non-telescoping) shroud. You just need the right endcap (either FX M20 or UNF). A Sumo should be all you need to keep it pretty quiet.

I liked the light weight of the 300cc bottle but ditched it after a few days for the increase in shots the 580cc bottle provides. With either the 480cc or 580cc bottle and the 500mm barrel, you'll need a skinny mod like the KOI, which works well for me in 0.25.

A 3” mechanical silencer that is almost silent—> all you hear is the controlled slow venting of trap air

Turn it down to 20 fpe.

Tatsu decent on sound if you keep the power down, and about as short as it gets, I have one on a .22 works good, had one on a .25 not so good the FX hollow 6 inch quieter in .25 to me

 

[thumper]

Turn the power down. Simple as that.

I’m using the CF tension tube from 910 tuning and a DonnyFL Koi. Using the stock shroud and ronin is quieter. The compact is a .30 cal

Does it take the bark out of it the way you have it set up.

Factory shroud and a sumo will get it to pretty quiet.


Also tune is very important, with short barrel if you are shooting too hot you need an emperor plus wasting a lot of air. Try 140 bars and turn down your valve to like 2 lines, idea is to close the valve before the pellet or slug leaves the barrel. Due to the short barrel you need hotter but quicker burst of air compared to long barrels. Granted 500mm isn’t short per se.

I did the tensioner lube and KOI combo on my 30 cal Compact and it barked pretty good. Went back to the shroud and Sumo combo, much quieter!

It's the whoosh of air that makes it sounds loud but in the field, it doesn't bother the game I'm huting. If I compared it to the stock shroud and FX DonnlyFL or Koi. If I had to pick one it will be the stock shroud and DonnlyFL Koi. The Ronin is a good combo too.
