Matador shroud vent mod=quieter
Ive been shooting my new R3(new reg version) 25 cal Long and cant help but notice the distinct blast of air out of the vent holes.
My R3 22 Long air release is barely felt or heard,but this 25 is blowing hard puff of air and the sound is definitely noticeable(mostly what I hear on shot).
The vent holes are same size on both shrouds as shrouds appear to be same( standard interchangeable part)
I know the 25 is pushing considerably more air and am wondering if slightly larger holes or more would be more efficient to venting additional volume(allowing pellet to leave baffle in a vacuum,increasing accuracy ) as well as larger/more holes not increasing velocity of escaping air(less noise).
After all compensators on PBs get more or bigger holes as caliber/power goes up.
Thoughts anyone?

Don’t see why it wouldn’t work…
It would probably make more noise when fired.

Possibly. Maybe not due to slower release of air.
More I think about it several more same sized vent holes would probably work better. I need to do calculations on current volume of passable air with existing holes. Then I can determine how many more holes would be needed for additional volume of 25s air for same rate of bleed off speed.
Another thing to think about is I forgot to measure is barrel OD.
I’m assuming 25 is bigger thus reducing internal volume inside tube.
Less available internal volume + increased air volume on shot means higher pressure if not vented quick enough.
