More silencer plans in the MODS, FAQs, and Q&A area
First you will need...
1. approx 17" of thin wall 3/4" PVC pipe
2. approx 12" of thin wall 1 1/4" PVC pipe
3. 2- 1 1/4" straight couplings
4. 2- 1 1/4"x 3/4" reducer
5. PVC cement
6. a round file
7. sandpaper
8. a drill and 3/16" drill bit
9. a 3/4" coupling or 1"x 3/4" reducer depending on
barrel type of you gun (you may want to get an extra
1
10. some steel wool or insulation
These instructions are for a fairly large silencer, but you can trim length to suit your tastes. I have found
this large silencer to be the quietest I have ever
seen. First apply PVC cement to the inside diameter to
one side of both 1 1/4" couplings. Tap the 1 1/4"
reducers into the glued side of couplings. Take the round file and sandpaper and ream out the reducers so that the 3/4" pipe will go ALL THE WAY THROUGH THEM, BUT FIT TIGHT. Take your time and check size often to make it tight.
Glue the 12" 1-1/4" pipe into ONE of the couplings, leave the other side un-glued. That part is now complete.
We'll refer to that as the "cover". Measure own approx 2" from end of 3/4" pipe and 6" from the other end, and start drilling holes all through the middle of the marks. Take your time and make holes clean. Run sandpaper down the inside to clear any burrs. Glue the other reducer/coupling assembly to the 2" side of the barrel, leaving 1" extending out of the reducer. Here is where you have to determine what size coupling to fit your gun. The 3/4" staight coupling can be sanded to fit 13/16" barrels, or use a 1"x 3/4" reducer to attach gun to silencer. You may have to "custom fit" your silencer to the barrel you have. Just make sure that a paintball can slide through silencer easily. Wrap the now vented barrel with steel wool and slide into the cover assembly with end of the barrel through the opening.
The 2 peices should fit together nicely in the couplings and allow you to take cover off for cleaning and changing steel wool. Do not pack steel wool too tight, because you want some air space inside for absorbing sound and expanding air. Here one is attached to a Talon, A pump gun is fine for use with a silencer, no need to rapid fire if they dont know where you are anyway.
