FX FX Impact M3 vs FX Wildcat MK3, which is louder?

[sneakymeekey]

Hi All,

I'm stuck between the Impact M3 and the Wildcat MK3 and I'm curious if anyone knows which gun is the quietest or can be made to be the quietest.

Thanks,

Mike

both.

-OR-

whichever one is tuned the slowest.


without a moderator neither one will be very quiet.

Given the same barrel length caliper and output. I would say they will be very similar

The wildcat hammer will be hitting the valve much closer to your ears.

I have a 600 mm .25 Wildcat and even with Tatsu on it, it’s kinda loud. That’s shooting kings at 900.

I had an m3 impact 700 mm in .22 shooting 18.1’s at 910 with. Tatsu on it and it was freakishly quiet.

Thanks Scubajeeper!

With same barrel length, caliber, moderator, and similar tune. They will be equal on muzzle report.
But you will hear the hammer strike more on the wildcat, when shooting the gun, as it will be closer to your ear.

My M3 600mm w/ FX mod and Wildcat M3 BT Compact w/ Tatsu are both super quiet. I'm shooting 22 gr slugs and Hades at around 900 FPS.
