darren m Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 as quiet i would say or quieter . where you use it makes a difference surroundings and wind also can deflect the sound . use fibre or subs much quieter than plas wads . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vole Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 Hi.I have a Hushpower 12g Pedretti which am told is no louder than a .410.I think they are louder than springer when you are holding the gun but it does not carry a fraction of the distance.About 200m as opposed to 1500m for an un silenced.The Saddlery and gunroom website has a table of the decibels.It is part of an advert bear in mind but i am pleased with my 12g one.believe the .410 no quieter than mine. guy at S & G says their 20g is quietest as the mod is same as 12 so proportionally more mod. for calibre.As above it depends on surroundings and wind.Subs make major difference..cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zapp Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 I have a webley b/a .410 which I had fitted with a hushpower silencer. As has been mentioned before, wind and especially surroundings play a big part in how noisy it is. In any surrounding which are prone to echoing, there is still quite a thud, but having said that I dont use subs with it. It is hard to say whether it is quieter or louder than a spring gun, I would say that it has no more intrusive an effect on quarry or nearby people. I honestly wouldnt part with it, unless it was for a moderated mossberg 500 ZB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
