You’ll quickly conclude these are gun guys … not airgun guys.
As such, quiet is probably with respect to a centerfire rifle.

Seems to me the airgun shooter was toying around with the TalonP.
But, taking pot shots at live targets does a disservice to hunting and hunters.

I’ve seen this video before.
At the time I was more interested in decibel data.

Well … maybe a little more.
Both the replacement stock and the replacement butt cited place the rifle in a conventional position.
That is, the rifle butt against the front of the shoulder.
As such, the rifle is steadied by being pulled into the shoulder.
