Whats The Quietest PCP You Have Shot?

[brawler1588]

So I have had a bunch of pcps now some low middle and now high end ones. I have shifted my needs and kind of want the quietest I can get. I have been doing some pest stuff and want it as quiet as can be. I may just be spoiled with my 10fpe dreamtac that I can shoot at anytime because it's that quiet. I have a dreamtac, crown, impact, veteran, and a L2. Even moderated is fine just looking to see what others have found.

For me it is my Prod with an Mrod Barrel and SSG in .22. In my .25 it's a toss up Marauder again SSG but on a lightened Hammer with a 1800 PSI Fill. Right at 40 for 40. The loudest is the hammer strike and the Pellet on target. And a regulated Air Arms S510 in .25

With the PRod in the backyard the humming birds still eat from the feeder behind my head. Target is across the yard. I used to go pesting with a Friend in the cattle yards in Ontario and was able to plink the birds on the roof. They would take flight when their neighbor was knocked to the ground but no movement prior to pellet strike.

38 FPE Snowpeak P35 25 cal. I have a 3d printed insert in the shroud and a DonnyFL Tatsu. It is quieter than my Revere 177 16-17 FPE with a DonnyFL Tanto by a smidge. Now the impact noise….

 

[orangeokie]

Probably my AA S510 Carbine with a Huggett Astile moderator. My BSA R10 is also very quiet with the Huma Air BSA shroud/moderator

For me it's a coin toss between my Gamo urban and my gen2 marauder both 22cal and shooting 24ish fpe

 

[elguapo99]

My Hatsan AT44S-10QE .22 with the Geoffk baffle and JSAR depinger. All that I hear is the hammer strike and then the pellet strike.

 

[GunshipGuy]

+1 for the Taipan Veteran in the full power rifle category.

 

[Grassguy12200]

Mine is /was my DAR 2nd Gen in .22

Fx Royale .22 w Hugget Snipe. Gives Mimes an insecurity complex…

I am surprised to read that -
My experience with the Hugget snipe that they look and feel extremely good, but are really not that quiet.
I replaced my Hugget Snipe with Weihrauch standard type and the expensiver XLK - they are both on another level doing sound suppression, compared to the Hugget Snipe. So you can get it much quieter with a moderator some might say downgrade, and I agree to the way they look. But function an absolute upgrade.

I’m surprised to hear the hugget didn’t work well in your experience. I’ve never compare it to the others you’d mentioned but my Weihrauch HW44 is east on the ears so perhaps there would be an improvement trying a Weihrauch or XLK. Can’t hurt to try so thanks for sharing.

If I remember , my Marauder in .22 cal was very quiet out of the box and nearly silent with a moderator .

 

[Privateer]

.30 cal Evanix RS II Mini-Carbine with a DonnyFL Emperor.
All you could hear was the round hitting.

 

[bchannell]

Both my FX Royale .22's with factory silencers shoot around 30 ft/lb and are dead silent. Also, dead accurate, great guns.

 

[scubajeeper]

My Taipan Veteran shorty is putting out 32 ftlbs and with the factory shroud it’s pretty quiet. I have a Tatsu on it and it’s stupid quiet, it really sounds like it’s not doing much.

 

[JaceSpace1369]

Taipan vet stardard .177 no moderator, and Akela .22 no moderator.

 

[F6Hawk]

Taipan vet stardard .177 no moderator, and Akela .22 no moderator.

What's your dB levels on each of those? I have a hard time believing that a gun without a silencer is quieter than any gun with one.

I never measured the decibels, but I have shot plenty of different air rifles. And those 2 were the air rifles that I never needed to put a moderator on, I tried moderating both of them and it didnt make a good enough difference to moderate them. I could shoot them indoors without a problem.

Out of 12 PCPs…

Quietest is an FX Dreamline Classic .177 with a Weihrauch moderator (original 30mm “hair curler” version). This is shooting 10.3g at 895 fps.

I believe my RTI Prophet Performance is just as quiet with a Huma Mod 30 when using .177 barrel shooting 13.4g at 830fps.

The Prophet “feels” slightly louder as its flinging a 30.65 gram hammer at the valve, but it probably measures the same DB.

Quietest .22 caliber is a Weihrauch HW110 shooting 15.89g at 895fps. Barrel is not shrouded - just a standard Weihrauch moderator doing all the quieting work.

 

[Pea-shooter O.G.]

The 3 most quiet I have shot are my .177 Marauder with a regulator, Hill light hammer and peek striker, my Daystate Mk4 with a 0db moderator and a friends RAW TM1000 with a full AZ treatment.

Agree. I have Huggett's on three Daystate's (.177, .20 and .22) and my .22 Air Arms. Whisper quiet on all.

.22 Gamo Arrow or my semi custom 1720T carbine

The arrow is definitely quiet but has a slight thump and ping to it. The notos is the quietest gun I've shot so far. The first 3 shots when sighting in missed the target so I never heard an impact. I honestly thought the gun was broken. It just made a subtle "dff" sound. I actually stopped, went inside, unloaded the mag and looked down the barrel because I thought it jammed. Took it outside and aimed high. Same "dff" but this time I heard a loud smack as it hit the target. It has since gotten a little louder, but it's still the quietest gun I own.
My L2 is the loudest. I wish it was quieter so I could shoot it more.
