How quiet is this gun compared to other 1200 fps pellet guns?

Hi, it came with a small box of high speed bbs. It was very loud ...I went to Wal Mart and got some subsonic bbs. With those it is quiet.

It makes less of a report than Grandsons' BB gun. Very pleased with the unit. Have no comparison to other pellet guns since this the only one ever purchased. It is used for rodent control.

That depends on the pellet that you shoot. The composition pellets that Gamo supplies are as loud as a .22 cal rifle. Heavier pellets make less noise.

Hi Knothead.I would estimate it to be about 1/2 as loud as a .22 LR. It's about the same volume as an air nailer used in construction. I've found that many times, the "thwak" of the pellet hitting the target (a piece of plywood or a tree) is louder than the actual report. Like many air guns, the Venom will get quieter as it's broken in, so if it's too loud for you at first, keep shooting and it should quiet down pretty well. Hope this helps!

5-800 fps depending on on number of pumps and pellet weight. Plenty fast to hurt things!

The gun is about as quiet as any other medium power pellet rifle. If your neighbours are indoors, I doubt they would hear it. Probably a good idea to inform your neighbours of your intent to shoot a pellet rifle in the backyard and make sure you check the local municipal and/or state/provincial laws regarding the discharge of air guns where you live.

The noise level gets less as you break it in.It may take 50 to 100 RDS.It will get more accurate also during this period at longer ranges.The nitro produces less noise than the spring air rifles.

I would say it is not terribly louder if at all than the whisper but because it is 30 rounds it could annoy some people. If you live in a house with a good size backyard you should be fine. I haven't had complaints and I live in an apartment. I will say it is definitely on the lower end with accuracy though...hope it helps.

my two 10/22 have this, and they are quiet. now at 500 rds or so, add sub sonic ammo and a oil filter and you'll get a really quiet rifle.;)

Not very loud at all, you can absolutely shoot it in backyard, I do all the time in residential neighborhood I live in

The fps is around 220ish and it is recommended for beginners. I used it and its pretty fun to use. I dont really understand the barrel extender or silencer though, just for looks I guess, dont forget to adjust the red dot sight if you plan on buying this gun! Overall, 8/10.

There really isn't a way to make this gun quiet. You are better off buying a marauder pistol if you want quiet shooting.

The gun I shoot the pellets out of and this is all pellet or bbguns the heveyer the pellet the quieter it will be because the heveyer the slower which means it is farther away from braking the sound barrier

It's a .22 pellet rifle. Accurate with scope already zero'd in. About 70% quieter than conventional pellet rifle tha do not have the noise dampened at the muzzle. Hope this proves useful.

the lighter the pellets (aluminum or other material) the louder it will be. I purchased lead ones and they were less loud than the lighter ones

I've not used these pellets for a long time. Although from what I recall from my experience, I believe the noise level was higher if not the same as other munitions I used previously.

This pellet gun is very quiet, probably is backyard friendly in that regard. It is not a toy though.

This is an excellent Air rifle but it is not quiet. I would compare it to a 22 cal. Short round. I hope this is helpful.
