the black thing is my homemade silencer, it reduces the loud poping sound alot but somtimes some of the gass escapes. anyways its not loud at all, the range is alright, ive been shooting little ducktape balls and they can get pretty far down my street. :]

careful silencers are illegal i need to get rid of mine :x but it would kick @$$ if you put a breech load ing system like this one http://www.geocities.com/man_o_brass/si ... reach.html with a sabot ammo, a muzzle tip with a drilled spiral pattern, and yes a longer barrel that would be awsome :twisted: :twisted:

they're illegal! i had no idea. in that case ill take it off. the breach idea is pretty cool, i'll prolly take the silencer off and maybe replace it w/ a breach loader. thanks

Tehir illegal because it makes it easier to kill people. Ironically, you'd think they would legalize them to reduce noise to keep the noise down. Also, something about your gun not being heard, therefore nobody knows to look out for bullets.

I love that breech. How did you machine the metal? I think that extenders are legal, correct me if Im wrong. I have extenders on all of mine. Reduces muzzle velocity very slightly but works pretty well. Very cool gun though. Especially now with that awesome breech.
