I have a few shrouds with vent holes near the rear and a couple without. Does the vent hole reduce the sound or turbulence behind the pellet associated with the shot?
I use vent holes in the rear of the shroud so it can use the whole shroud my thoughts are that if it's sealed off kinda airlocks and doesn't use the whole thing also seems to make it quieter at the muzzle in my opinion but I could be totally wrong toI have a few shrouds with vent holes near the rear and a couple without.

Smaller shroud diameters / volume can benefit from vents in reducing muzzle turbulence, noise not so muchI have a few shrouds with vent holes near the rear and a couple without. Does the vent hole reduce the sound or turbulence behind the pellet associated with the shot?
I always find that making and fitting an SSG to most guns will quieten them down anyway without adding extra silencing, which shows that speeding up the valve closure and eliminating hammer bounce is a definite for a quiet gun.What did Motorhead say? Something about control of valve dwell? That is the key to tuning in the first place isn't it? And balancing all settings to mesh with valve dwell? From one of low experience in physically tuning but a few years of trying to learn my particular PCPs that seems to be the whole nut to crack. All those things with pellet fit and bore condition/twist rate per pellet style. DON'T FORGET TO CLEAN THE BORE WHEN PRECISION GOES DOWN THE TUBES. BE Well Brothers, Bandito.
What is an SSG?I always find that making and fitting an SSG to most guns will quieten them down anyway without adding extra silencing, which shows that speeding up the valve closure and eliminating hammer bounce is a definite for a quiet gun.
I've used this on a couple of my shrouded guns.Check out Hajimoto's YouTube video regarding adding vent holes to original Umarex Gauntlet shroud. I added vents, didn't notice difference, later inspection to Mr.Clean buffer did reveal staining so air is venting. WM
They are usually homemade I know of no place that sells them, there are a couple of new guns that actually use this system, I believe the Epic uses an SSG.Interesting. What brands are they available for and where can they be bought?
Most quality guns don’t require us to build a SSG, HDD or install a SSS. Those are all terms that were universally understood when we all had unregulated guns or were installing regs in unregulated guns. I haven’t built one in years. But every Kral or Benjamin I’ve ever owned or still own has one. They are a difference maker when you are dealing with a globetrotter hammer.Interesting.
