Seeking the loudest PCP available

[qball]

Just crank up any PCP with shortest possible barrel, heck go chop off another 4-6 inches it will sound louder than average 22LR.

If you want spend money then go for a RAW and take off the moderator, on the cheap side go for a PP700.

Hello, I have a unique use case that requires the loudest PCP I can acquire in either .177 or .22 caliber. I am looking for a PCP which will emit the loudest audibly heard report when fired with a pellet in the chamber. Thank you in advance!

The shorter the barrel the louder it is, especially if you've got the pressure cranked up to say 120 bar.

 

[HogKiller]

Don’t you see those little cars with coffee cans on the back? Loud, loud is fast, right?
LOL

OP, think short barrel and big power. That will get you to loud.

Hardly, loud pipes save lives...except for physics.

my leshiy 2 was 109db with the shroud off. pressure at factory setting. .22 350mm.

Piker, my Maverick .22 is 123db

Don't understand...no ones mentioned power output...

Most ANY..."short barrel gun" that can have its "power turned up to 900/1000+fps", that's turned/tuned up to its maximum power capability.
Remove any items that quiet the output.
The shroud, in many cases, on its own, does not hamper the sound any with the suppressor removed. But yeah, if it has baffle inside of it...remove them !

Go pound the air.

In my experience the shroud alone can impact noise greatly. Even with no baffles. Case being my short barreled crown. Massive difference without the shroud. The exit bore is pretty large. Maybe 9mm or so? And superlight barrels have no stripper or baffles

Definitely a 30 cal Leshiy 2 in a puck flying event with no magazine. I'd estimate the hearing damage is equal to a short barrel NAA mini revolver in 22 mag. DON'T try this at home! Both events were unexpected however the NAA was discharged intentionally and was successful in terminating the rattlesnake.

Hatsan's short barrel Jet has a sharp, ear ringing crack. It's more annoying than my 30 cal Leshiy with the 250mm barrel. Mine's a tack driver and it's dirt cheap.

Pretty sure he’s trying to scare people or animals

That could be considered my use case, however, it is not.

Why does it matter??? If it's your first PCP save the cash and just use your 22LR and shoot subs to make noise... Or 22 bird shot rounds in a old revolver pistol... Or just buy some firecrackers...

It is not my first PCP, I own and have owned many:

• Gamo Urban
• Brocock Concept Lite
• Brocock Commander
• Daystate Pulsar
• Daystate Renegade

Thanks!

I reckon it's not your first.. the loudest PCPs ( to me, that I have personal experience with) is the career air rifles and my Sam Yang 45cal... Those no doubt got on heck of a pop!

2 liter bottle with 55 psi compressed air. shot with .22 / JSB Diabolo.. loud..

 

[Squirrel hunter]

I had a BSA PCP and it was loud. Probably. because it make a lot of power. Also my Evanix Windy City with out a shroud is supper loud. I have had many airguns and that one was the loudest. Again probably because it makes a lot of power.

I bet he's made a moderater , and wants to see how well it works ?

No sir, I have not, it's not for that use case. Thanks!

 

[corny]

One without a barrel

 

[jmohme]

Does Harley Davidson make a PCP?

 

[weevil]

I’ll second what corny said. I once fired my wildcat with no barrel (while changing it).

 

[Vetmx]

Does Harley Davidson make a PCP?

If they did, guys would find a way to make them louder. The heaviest, slowest, loudest PCP with the most expensive aftermarket parts. Could be a market for that.

One thing I have noticed, and I am not saying this is a tried and true fact, is that the louder PCPs tend to be significantly more accurate than their quieter counterparts. Something to consider here…

Nah .. my take on that depends all on the tune. . Tuned wrong moderator or not accuracy isn't what it can be..
