Hoots shroud mod.

Considering adding the vent holes :hoot: had posted. Hoping one of you would be knowledgeable and bored enough to point me in the direction of the best end result so far..say bit size..or a link if anything was improved from the seemingly doable offering Hoot: posted.

And the reduction in sound was noticeably.? Anyone try on a 25?

:hoot:

Any .25 is loud with an OEM shroud alone, or vented. You can relieve air pressure with venting, but that alone will not make the gun “quiet”.

A neighbor friendly .25 Edgun is possible with adequate venting, just don’t use large holes, because then you get an exhaust noise from the hole!

An ldc is a must if you want really silent!. Check in with either Neil Clague or Donny Du. John Hagan (Hagantool@aol.com) makes an adapter that fits into the OEM shroud. This is the route I’d recommend, with venting. The gun can be made very quiet…just don’t go nuts on the HST, keep your velocity within reasonable limits. If you max out the power, you are going to get noise that is tougher to tame.

If you don’t have something to measure the sound with its tough to say is quieter. Unless its very obvious. Mine is a 25 and to me the gun is not loud

I did 3 holes on my 25 and would say it passes a lot of air through those 3 tiny holes. I did mine in a row underneath so one would not see the holes there are always 3 lead spots underneath the holes so you know they are doing something. I was going to do more holes but have not gotten around to doing it

start with a 1 mm drill bit – you can go larger later if you desire. 1mm worked very well on my 22.

And here is my post in the thread that describes what I did and how to get a straight line down the shroud:
