It’s @#$@# loud!!
My neighbor just bought a used .22 Talon SS. The gun was claimed to be in perfect condition with 25-30 shots through it. After some fiddling around we got her filled up and he took the first shot (@2950psi). CRACK! This @#$@#$ thing is LOUD. We shot it on medium power the whole time and it sounded like a .22LR….it made my 350 mag sound like a fricken’ mouse fart. We had been using JSBs and due to an experiment a few months ago we had some left over Piledrivers. I popped one in and shot. I will never as long as I live do that again without earmuffs. It made a crack so loud that my ears were ringing for at least fifteen minutes.I have shot a .40 S&W without ear protection and it wasn’t this loud, no B.S. Another weird problem this gun has is the bolt will not “click” back and has quite a bit of side to side play. Also, are “bum” shots normal every once in awhile? Occasionally, the gun will fire and the pellet will smack waaaaay below POI and not penetrate very far at all. This happens throughout the shot string (tank was good for 55 shots before POI shift was visible)

Try shooting the gun outside, there’s not much room in that closet anyway. 8)
Seriously, lighter pellets will go supersonic and sound about like a .22 mag. But nothing like a .40 S&W.

Try cupping your hand just ahead of the breech area when you shoot a shot, feeling for a major air leak. The bolt has two o-rings (they slide back and forth on the barrel breech, and the rear most slides over the top hat when the bolt is closed). If they are well worn, will leak high pressure air at the breech….loses some power and makes the shot extra loud.
These o-rings doen’t hold any pressure except at the shot, so it won’t show up as a slow leak…just air blow buy at the shot.
