Exactly, I was being facetious, there are a lot of us who really like the Marauder and don't care to hear the constant negativity against it.

is the marauder really that quiet?
- Thread starter Ratzilla
- Start date
Negativity ?
No just facts, to keep repeating a lie does not make it true but people start believing in it,....fact, Crosman did try put the sticker " Made in USA " on the Marauder, I had a .25 back in the day with one of them boxes, but they quickly got shut down because it was not true.

less powerful than what ? my nephew and his dad have 22 cal shooting over 40 fps and are very quiet , , yes moded , regulated etc. but the barrel system untouched , the pellet impact makes a lot of wallop ! but the gun is very quiet

Just a lot of haters explaining how their gun can be as quiet with some sort of moderator as a stock Marauder. I think that if you put enough moderato(s) on most guns they may be as quiet.

I try to keep the power on the smaller calibers realistic and that helps out a lot with keeping them pretty quiet. People can hate on the marauder platform all they want and it isn't going to change a thing. People are still going to buy them, they are good PCP guns for the price point. Specially in the used market.

Marauders a good learning tools. Most of the mod parts that were available are not anymore. I've got 3 marauders and an armada. 2 are project guns. It keeps me from messing up my nice guns.

I got one in 0.22 cal. It is both the most powerful airgun I own (24fpe) and the quietest airgun I own without an external can. Actually the Beeman P-17 is quieter but other than that the M-rod is quietest.

I use Mrod baffles in my kral shrouds to quiet them down. They are freaking loud without the shroud and air strippers. Those baffles and shrouds really do wonders, hence why alot of aftermarket companies copy the design for shroud kits.
Other than that, I hate Mrods
Just kidding, their bolt action leaves something to be desired though.

Talking to me ?
I actually do not hate Marauders,....don't think much of them but don't hate them, I had 5 of them so I was able to form my own opinion.
If you like them good for you, me ?.... apart from Hatsan I would get just about everything else out there rather then a Marauder, I won't even go into the specifics of why.
As for the noise, look......... take away a perfect tune for efficiency and silence is a product of power, barrel lenght and moderator.
The Marauder shroud/baffles system is nothing special but they have a long barrel and stock they come out on the lower power side.
A Marauder .25 comes out in the 40 FPE range yet a Taipan.25 @ 60 FPE will be quieter.
Back many moons ago I had a Marauder .25 that I maxed out at 45 FPE, I also Had a Rainstorm I .22 that was a 55 FPE shooter
I always though the Storm was louder until I got a friend of mine stand down range and tell me what he could hear,
the ping on the Storm was louder and that was what made me think so but my friend said the Marauder even being 10 FPE weaker was actually louder.

I have a Marauder .22 Field and Target. I have shot multiple birds in my yard with my kids about 30 yards behind me. They are still amazed that I point the gun at the bird and it dies - they don't even hear that I took the shot.

It was my entry gun into the PCP scene. I ordered it from the custom shop a few years ago and I have loved it. I am looking for a little more power and shot count, so I am shopping for a higher end PCP. I will be selling my Marauder only because once I get my new one (whatever I decide) it won't get any use.
