Huben to suppress or not to suppress

[yeagger]

 So I just so I just received my Huben. During my process of buying I saw that topairgun had a adapter and a suppressor. But now that I've shot mine all I hear is mechanical and the pellet hitting the target at 10 yards. So for the Huben owners with a suppressor does it make a difference is it worth it?

yeagger, 

With 'any' PCP air rifle.. IF the OEM shroud is efficient enough 
that all you can hear is the sound of the hammer/valve, then the pellet strike, you're good to go!
At that point, a suppressor would just be cosmetic / redundant..

All of my PCPs had a pretty loud bark to them, and I shoot a lot indoors, so suppressing was a 'must'..

Did you sound-test you Huben inside? or out?
If you did 'inside', and it's that quiet, I'm really impressed!

 It was it was kind of indoors. I have a shed that I shootout of in my backyard. It does not sound like a air rifle at all it sounds like mechanical tap. It's a little louder than my FX Bobcat but a little quieter than my Cricket in 25. I shot all day with it today and it was wonderful.

Yeagger, Please tell us the caliber, model, generation, etc of your new Huben. I'm curious how low you have been able to adjust the fps and how accurate it is at different velocities.

My Gen3 Huben K1 in 0.22 is one of the quietest pcp I own. Don`t see any need of supressor here.

I heard the hubens require a lot of tuning to be able to shoot well. Is that true or have they fixed the kinks. ?

If all you hear is mechanical sounds and the pellet hitting the target - what would you expect a suppressor to do?

yeagger,

All this suppressor talk - I figured it'd be funny to post these pics here..
The DonnyFL adapters came in today for my P15 and PP700S-A.. 
As soon as I got out of work, I set both of them up, and started shooting..

No suppressor needed. Unless you want an expensive paper weight

Exactly and when youre shooting much above 1000 fps youre also not able to get it quieter because you hear the sonic crack of the pellet outside...
