Thanks guys, I don't need "backyard" but I do like quiet. After my pcp's, and .22lr and 300blk suppressed its hard to shoot anything too loud and enjoy it.

I had watched his video too before I got my Rattler, I thought I had a performance problem because I only have 820 fps with 150 grains and 160-bar regulatorNice. I ask because mr hollow point's video shows it making 300fpe with 150gr... I don't know what's going on but either my gun or my chrono are very different from his.

i run my rattler at 190bar and about 23 clicks on the power wheel. it cracks at 117dB 270FPE its really loud if its not properly tuned it was around 122dB. i also drilled around 90, 1mm holes in the shroud and suppressorThey are nice guns! How loud ( or quiet) would you say they are? Almost backyard friendly? Hard to tell from the videos.
@caliusoptimus What type of shroud did you put on that Rattler? Or is that just how it looks with the factory moderator removed?Or maybe... a 36" barrel. Made this earlier in the week. Havent done much testing, but I put a 142gr in there and it was doing about 275fpe on 170bar.

I made it. 26x24 carbon tube with a variety of plastic and aluminum bushings.@caliusoptimus What type of shroud did you put on that Rattler? Or is that just how it looks with the factory moderator removed?
@caliusoptimus Did you also change barrels?I made it. 26x24 carbon tube with a variety of plastic and aluminum bushings.
Yep. I have a 36" 1-20" twist and the stock 28" 1-26" twist. The setup is the same aside from the length of the tube.@caliusoptimus Did you also change barrels?
@caliusoptimus What benefit(s) are you noticing since switching from the stock barrel to the one described above?Yep. I have a 36" 1-20" twist and the stock 28" 1-26" twist. The setup is the same aside from the length of the tube.
This is the stock barrel.

Mo powa! Up to 310fpe vs 270fpe with the stock barrel. Maybe more... I haven't tempted fate by going over 180bar. Accuracy is the same.@caliusoptimus What benefit(s) are you noticing since switching from the stock barrel to the one described above?
@caliusoptimus A faster twist rate and adding 8" to the barrel did that?Mo powa! Up to 310fpe vs 270fpe with the stock barrel. Maybe more... I haven't tempted fate by going over 180bar. Accuracy is the same.
Twist rate didn't increase power, but an extra 8" of barrel sure did.@caliusoptimus A faster twist rate and adding 8" to the barrel did that?
@caliusoptimus What is your reason for increasing the twist rate?Twist rate didn't increase power, but an extra 8" of barrel sure did.
At first I didn't have one. Just got a few blanks in both twist rates to see what happens. Now that I've played with it a bunch, I don't think the rattler needs a 20 twist. The 26 has stabilized every slug I've tried.@caliusoptimus What is your reason for increasing the twist rate?
