Hey, if you added a silencer to the barrel of a sniper rifle, one that does not just cover the barrel, but adds more barrel, would that, in turn, improve accuracy or lessen it since the bb won't have as much power?

A silencer won't do anything to improve accuracy. All a silencer is going to do is muffle the sound of the bb ejecting from the rifle, since a sniper rifle doesn't use any sort of gears or motor, the only sound heard is the pressure of the air when shot and the actual sound of the bb releasing from the gun, by placing a silencer on there, you cut your sound down aprox 75%. Since your the only one who is going to hear your gun actually shoot you probably won't notice a difference. But with Livonia's rifle he took a shot on me (I watched it through my scope, hit me in the lower left face, thank god for full face bush hat) but I didn't hear anything. I was maybe 50 yards away at that time.

But even then, when your any closer if your going with a high end sniper rifle all you'll hear is the whiz of the bb going past your head if not you won't hear anything. But to answer your question in short, a silencer won't do anything for accuracy.

Sorry for the long post, I just felt like typing.

It's okay. It's good information.
What would you use by increasing accuracy not including the scope?

The silencer will let you put in a longer tight bore and still have it be covered. And with the silencer it will not have the risk of it breaking or getting dirty. By the way a longer tight bore will increase the accuracy of your gun.

A better scope won't do anything to a rifle's performance. All a scope will do is let you see your target better, if you know how to sight one in, well that's brownie points. But the only thing that'll increase accuracy, like TSTBS said. Would be a tightbore. I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure it's only that and your hop up that'll effect accuracy.

oh ya, i forgot to mention hop up. Thats important. Hop up, tightbore, and with those if you get more FPS and heavier BB's and your accuracy will be pretty darn good!

wow this thread kind of got off topic . . . oh well.

Well, it didn't get so much off topic to the point where I need to delete posts. But we were just talking about how Silencers can add accuracy and I had to tell him that they don't. But Livonia, do you think you could make one of these for my APS-2? I really don't want to buy that one that Tex has as he wants $50 for it. So I figure, if I pay the material costs and a little extra coin, that might cut it?

i am still debating buying this one or reconstructing the one I have now...

Ok im wondering......why are you putting silencers on your rifle becouse im going to be honest, at any distance ive taken a shot at even without a silencer there is no possible way that they could hear me firing
