Daystate Mechnical noise.

[rigbymauser]

In pursuit for more stealth and no experience with electric(battery) airguns like Daystates I have a question for the gents on this forum. I have a Daystate Revere which is fairly silent with a silencer. Actually the mechanical valve noise surpas muzzlenoice. Is an electrical controlled valve more silent?..

An observation. I have reduced the power to 15 ft/ibs and have noticed if I use a heavy slug like 16 or 20grain slug the mechanical noice is slight less than using a 8,44grain pellet. Maybe the valveslam is less?...(it sounds like it)

Makes sense, the valve should open more with lighter pellets than with heavier.

I personally like peek strikers to help minimize any evident noise from the hammer, although your instance could be the valve closing, for that you would want to reduce the closing force which requires a bit more work, such as a thinner valve stem.

Daystate still uses a hammer to open the valve could be hearing that when the coil excites it pulls hammer forward

Some of what you "hear" is likely due to bone conduction and not very apparent to spectators.
