Silencers, Suppresors, Compensators?

Regardless of whoever answers what, check with the Minnesota DNR (Department of Natural Resources).  Also if you go to places where you can purchase hunting licenses (usually places that you can buy guns) they have booklets available that clearly spell out all the can's and can not's of hunting.  Don't just blindly ask somebody on Yahoo, go straight to the source.  That way if you do get busted for something illegal you can't tell the game warden that you "thought" it was ok just because that is what you heard.  Hunting laws are often different than those for recreational shooting.  I know in Wisconsin laser sights are illegal for deer, but just fine for the shooting range.  For other animals I'm not sure.  I highly doubt silencers are legal for hunting, but wouldn't think they would be illegal for the shooting range.  But honestly I don't know.  Check with the DNR and local Police.  A simple phone call is all it takes to keep you out of jail.

If you want to go for something unique go with a tessen. They are small iron fans used by samurai's and are very effective to disarm and knock people out. Below is a site that has some info on them.

Yes, I have OSA. I've had 4 or 5 tests in the last yr 1/2.  I'm finally set on 12 which is working better. I fell asleep while driving a few times.  That's when I realized something was wrong! I have found cute little covers for the headstrap and tube at a certain website--don't know if I can mention it--dressupsbybrenda.net. I got several of them. and they're cheap.

Here is a comprehensive list of surgical instruments and their functions.  Good luck!\n\nhttp://www.gtamart.com/mart/products/surginst/

I'm so jealous....I'm still on a VLX but I do love her :) Anyway, I found this: http://motorcycles.about.com/library/userreviews/ucrevbikes124.htm - the seventh review down, a guy put Cobra mufflers on his to make it sound better. The slip-ons make installation simple and can make a big difference in sound. Vance & Hines pipes also seem to be highly recommended, but I don't really know much about them. If you have a Honda dealer near you, that might be your best option - I guarantee they replace stock pipes every day because they're too quiet. :)

It is amazing that anything is able to silence a gun, but gun silencers actually work on a very simple principle. \n\nImagine a balloon. If you pop a balloon with a pin, it will make a loud noise. But if you were to untie the end of the balloon and let the air out slowly, you could pop it making very little noise. That is the basic idea behind a gun silencer. \n\nTo fire a bullet from a gun, gunpowder is ignited behind the bullet. The gunpowder creates a high-pressure pulse of hot gas. The pressure of the gas forces the bullet down the barrel of the gun. When the bullet exits the end of the barrel, it is like uncorking a bottle. The pressure behind the bullet is immense, however -- on the order of 3,000 pounds per square inch (psi) -- so the POP that the gun makes as it is uncorked is extremely loud. \n\nA silencer screws on to the end of the barrel and has a huge volume compared to the barrel (20 or 30 times greater). With the silencer in place, the pressurized gas behind the bullet has a big space to expand into. So the pressure of the hot gas falls significantly. When the bullet finally exits through the hole in the silencer, the pressure being uncorked is much, much lower -- perhaps 60 psi. Therefore, the sound of the gun firing is much softer.

I will only add to what mousehound says, since his answer is so good.\n\nAs to if silencers work on all guns - no. \n\nTwo reasons:\n\n1) Gas operated automatics tend to channel some of the expanding gases to operate the rechambering of another round, the sound from these gases isn't suppressed, because it doesn't go thru the suppressor.\n\n2) Some, BUT NOT ALL, guns fire rounds which are supersonic. Virtually all handguns fire rounds that are subsonic. Supersonic rounds will create a shock-wave after leaving the barrel. The suppressor only suppresses the sound made by the expanding gases of the exploding powder.\n\n\nThe mechanisms for suppressing sound is, like a previous answer said, act like a muffler - it forces differing portions of the expanding gases through differing length baffles, both slowing and causing the differing path's peak shock wave to escape at a slightly different time, thus widening the sharp crack (shock wave crest) made by the (exploding) expanding gases. \n\nThis is a form of harmonic sound suppression.

Yes, there are.  They have become very sophisticated.  You should go to a hearing spcecialist and have yourself fitted for one, or two.  You will be amazed at the difference.  Just remember it will take a few days to get used to it.

There are dampers that are designed to dampen the vibrations in a mechanical system. A shock absorber on a car in a good example of this.\n\nThere are dampers that remove or lessen pressure surges in piping systems. Water hammer is an example of a pressure surge.\n\nFinally some types of valves are referred to as dampers. They are common in heating and air conditioning duct work.

Resriction on what??? Carry on items? Hours of operation? Noise abatement? You need to be more specific.\n\nTry starting here- http://www.massport.com/logan/default.aspx

Stealth is determined by how loud the gun is.  Louder guns will be open bolt, blowbacks.  You can make a marker quieter but running it at a lower pressure.  All paintball markers will shoot just as powerful as one another (the international limit on the max speed of a paintball is 300fps).  With an unlimited budget, I would say the "stalthiest" marker would be a DM4/5/6, but those cost around 500 for the cheapest and $1500 for the most expensive.  For woodsball, which is what I assume you are playing, since you want stealth, a marker with a low operating pressure, such as a Smart Parts Ion, would be fairly quiet.  You have to remember, the marker is expelling almost 200psi of gas in as little as 10ms, so no gun is going to be as quiet as a normal gun with a silencer.

Poppet valve would be your likely answer.\n\nCheck valve is also acceptable.

Look into Gemtech and AAC.  Both of them make good suppressors that can be purchased legally, thru licensed dealers with the appropriate NFA tax stamp.  I suggest you get a threaded suppressor rather than an internal suppressor since that way, you can use it any weapons you own with matching threads on the barrel.

No... The Illumanti has silencers put on them..\n\n\np.s.thanks for the two points

I would look into fitted plugs - check your area for an audiologist who can make them for you.  They are comfortable since they are fitted to your ear, and they can give you filters with varying levels of protection.
