Size of silencer in relation to "gun"

[jackssmirkingrevenge]

I realize this sounds idiotic, but would it work?

The theory is sound, but a neater way of utilising the same principle is to use springs as spacers between the baffles.

If you can mount it concentric enough to the barrel, you don't even need a ported barrel extension, you can just have the baffels fitted with spacers - that can be anything from springs to sections of tubing, I've even used drilled-out lego blocks for some projects - in the manner of the sound biter silencer made for rimfire and air rifles;



It usually helps to have the spacing at an uneven distance from eachother, starting with small spaces getting bigger as you approach the end of the silencer. The smaller the spaces, the more baffles you can fit in and the more effective your silencer will be

hey jack i was just reading this thread about silencers and i saw this ^ and i was wondering how well dose that kind of silencer work? thats if you have had experience with it

I've never used that particular model personally but it's a highly recommended unit and I've seen it used on anything from 0.177 CO2 pistols to 0.22 rimfire rifles.
