I'll give you the critical spoiler: doesn't do much, but does a tiny amount on an HW95 and a tad more on a Hatsan type gas ram.

All joking aside, I am interested in your results as I have tested this myself. Thanks for putting in the effort

Further spoiler, works great on a Walther LGV (and an AA ProSport, but that's not a break barrel).

I’m a firm believer in using LDCs on Springers. Definitely make a difference that I can hear. Best way to test is to shoot towards a “wall” that allows the sound to come back your way. Shoot with and without it, you’ll tell a difference.

I recently cut, choked and threaded my old R10 barrel and put a DonnyFL Tanto on it.
It sucks, didn't do much. Wish I hadn't have wasted all that time lol.
A Weihrauch silencer made a little more difference, but again, not enough to matter and sure not worth the effort. Or the added length.

I'm what springers? What LDCs? I think they help weigh the barrel down a good amount. The HW98 with the thickened up barrel achieves a bit better accuracy because of the weight, but in all other respects it is an HW95. That being said, I'd rather have an HW95 with an LDC than an HW98 without one.

I am in need of an editor obviously. oops, probably should change that date. [EDIT: fixed]
just wrapping up another project, i'll post on FB first, but "I'll be back"
later to share if interested.

A larger moderator made a HUGE difference on my Walther Parrus .22. A smaller one did a little bit, mainly took the rasp out of the shot sound. Either way, recommended for the Parrus.

What moderator? What level of decibel drop was there? Rough estimate is cool too like %30 reduction?

The HW LDCs seem to work the best in its size-volume class. The Huggett Snipe and HUGE MAGNA (THE BUG UN) are noticeably more effective though.

New Geo and a "solvent trap". Geo takes the rasp out of it, is compact and very lightweight. The trap takes the sound down about 50%, but is much larger and heavier.
I'm waiting on an adapter to try them out on the pRod.

In my experience, to my ears, it makes a difference. Just about any LDC. I’m running a Huggett Atom on my .22 LGV right now. The only Springers that I own that can thread an LDC are the LGVs & the HW30. Both my LGVs (.177 & .22) benefit from it. Frankly I don’t recall the difference in the HW30. I’m not talking about accuracy, I’m talking about sound.

Haha "I'm what springers". My auto correct projects words before I even begin writing, so since I text my wife "I'm leaving work" so much it auto fills that word often. Do you like the LGVs?

I don’t like the LGVs much. I kinda freaking love them. Here’s a little testament. LGV .22 @ 30 yards, JSB 14.35gr.

I'm using an old beeman model on my m48 and it does make a difference. Enough to justify spending$50 in 1993 for it.Nope! But it has made it more accurate.

I have a DonnyFl tanto on my HW50 .177 and it definitely makes a difference.
Shooting the gun you can't tell how much it really helps because of the mechanical noise, but if you are in front of the gun you can tell the difference.
They don't just put them on airguns in the UK for looks.
I have a HW50 .20 I'm getting the barrel chopped and threaded, gonna try a Sumo on it.

Just watched a video review of the HW99s (HW50s in US) and the UK-based reviewer used a decibel meter to compare intensity of sound with and without. His LDC was a UK aftermarket item designed to dampen sound, not just provide muzzle weight. His unmoderated decibel level was 100, and moderated was 90. So, a bit of a reduction, but not "mouse fart" quiet.
