spud gun scilencer

[guitarfreak]

i would like to make a scilencer for mt 1" diamater spud gun barrel.i have heard of them,but what exactly are they and how do they work?

[PCGUY]

Lets note that making any type of supressor is a federal offence within the United States.

[sergeantspud2]

even with real guns or just with spud guns?

[guitarfreak]

i dont think its illegal in new zealand,ive seen commercial rifle scilencers advertised in hunting magazines.would a pipe bolted to the end of the barrel with holes drilled around it work?

[PCGUY]

In America anything that can be attached to a real firearm that will change the report by 2db or more is considered a supressor.

[smoch125]

Ya but doesn't a firearm include the use of gunpowder??

[PCGUY]

I said anything that can be attached. If you put a piece of duct tape and put it over the end of a real gun, and it happened to change the report by 2db or more, it would be an illegal supressor.

People making supressors for cannons would become targets of interest for the people looking for people that make illegal supressors and such.

Plus the US doesn't need any help making spudguns illegal.

[guitarfreak]

ok,also,what do the holes in the end of some spudgun barrels do?

[PCGUY]

Typically make them more quiet

Personally I don't have a problem with you guys talking about supressors, however I used to have a tutorial on here on mine and I took it down becuause the issue is touchy. With a supressor there is no other name for it, can't really call it a barrel extention it's too obvious. Holes in the end of a barrel can be called for looks only.

I hope you get what I mean. Just letting those who don't know that making supressors that have any kind of ability to go onto a firearm is illegal in the US.

Lessens the flash from explosion. Its called a muzzle break it is also used on "real" guns.

call it a reduced weight barrel!!

come on, get creative.

hehe,ill do that! is it illegal to use suppressors,or just make them? because here in new zealand you can buy them at any sports store,but they dont sell them with a 1" bore lol!

[boilingleadbath]

You are in new New Zealand - the laws are different there, compared to the United States. If it's ok to buy them (without a specialty licence) it's probably ok to build and use homebuilts.

However, this is a forum both based and frequented by Americans, and it is generaly illegal for them to build or own a suppressor. There are special licences you can buy, but I doubt anyone here is going to spend 200$ instead of just making the barrel longer - which is undoubtedly the most effective way to make it quieter.

[spudshot]

not only do you need a 200 dollar transfer tax stamp, you need to be a class II manufacturer which is about 1000 a year for a license

ill make sure to never move to america,then i have a prototype,a tube with holes drilled in it set screwed th the nd of the barrel,that seems to work ok.
