Just a fast project I did by myself. Just because i dont have 3D printer or any pro shit device I used just a simple knife :) enjoy. Before comments about melting - YES IT WOULD MELT at real gun BUT its na ASG silencer ;)
Why bother with complexity? I made mine with sprinkler head. Works excellent completely silent my Marauder. I meant completely silent!!!!! This one well he is making without shot so I can hear how quieter the gun is. I don't buy that this method works. Simple is best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My style: 1. Sprinkler head 2. Carbon filter foam Watch the Utube search it shows how to modify. I did my first one in about 1 hour. The hardest is figure a way to attach to the barrel. It works excellent!!!!!!!!
Mate you are a genius, I love your idea, would love to see the next step ie fitting and testing, this is the foundation of a very efficient air gun moderator!
The haters in these comments are hilarious, no idea what they're talking about. Half of them think this will melt, the other half don't understand how baffles work. Great mod, nicely done!
I saw your video and I did the same thing. But the noises remained the same. Then I added cotton by round the foam like yours and another layer of cloth and another layer of cotton again and then covered with pvc tube and then it works!! made no noises only at 10 meters!! you my friend deserve a Like
I’m impressed by your work. Ive researched quite a lot about suppressors for airsoft on gas. When I see people doing the normal “roll of foam” I know that doesn’t do much. Your video was intriguing. I’ve got a beautifully crafted Gemtech trinity replica. It comes with foam baffle rings. I’ve been thinking about it and the foam baffles have no gaps between them when packed in. So whilst they give a resonant suppression (softer walls for the sound waves to reflect off as opposed to the aluminium interior sides of the silencer) there is no where for the gas to expand into. Foam is quite dense for a fast gas to hit and it will take the path of least resistance and follows the protectile out the exit hole, which is quite large. It has to be to avoid risk of a strike. It’s the gas rapidly expanding out of the exit hole of a mock suppressor or barrel into atmospheric pressure that creates the crack or loud pop. A bit like popping a balloon. What you need is like you’ve done, a method of expansion within the suppressor. I’ve been considering removing half the baffles and allowing space between each one. But having seen your video I though “now that’s a baffle”. I might experiment with some builders foam myself if I can find the right diametre.
hey Airindiana - my Tokyo Mauri from Evike didn't come with ANY foam - i think someone jacked it - i already complained and they said they didnt know what i was talkin' bout - where do i get some of this foam? -rubeer
This gives me a great idea. Personally, im going to make this out of the same foam. Then long story short melt some aluminum and cast an aluminum copy of this. For airsoft of course😁. Great video 👍
Hey man, great cutting work! I think it depends on the right foam and a good, precise knife. Have you done any testing? You should really do a video from the perspective of the target. This way you could demonstrate with and without the suppressor. I'd be so curious how big the effect is!
Duuude are you a surgeon? If not, you should consider a carrier change. I'm not conviced this would do more than simple foam slices but it looks so good and it's not that much work. It would be interesting to put this and just the foam and sliced foam on a sound level meter.

in the late 80's I played a lot of paintball. We used to make suppressors for our paintball guns. One weekend ATF showed up and told us if we still had them when they came back we would be arrest for violation (of whatever the text of the suppressor law is) We told them that was BS they were PVC used on paintball guns which were not fire arms. They responded by saying that you could adapt it to a real firearm. We said that was BS if they were used on a real firearm they would blow apart. They told us we could do whatever we wanted but if we had them when they came back we would be going to jail. Needless to say we stopped using them. Just an observation...
its not some magical foam tubing LOL, Its pipe insulation, looks like inch and a quarter pipe insulation. you can pick it up from any builders merchants.
So this is what the ATF is tripping about? Literal foam ? In a mock suppressor , I’m sure it would melt if tried to use on a real gun which is why I don’t understand why it’s illegal

BulletGaming012 i was about to comment that it looks reasonable but wheres the testing? Whats the proof it works or is worth the time? Could 3d print that in a few mins. Overall pointless
It's the wrong kind of foam to not make "baffles". If you're going to leave the foam tube intact, it needs to be "open-cell" foam. Pipe lagging like in this video is "closed-cell" foam.
As i said in video its a Kings Arms ASG silencer. I bought it at local asg online market. Its fitted as standard with a thread. For some models you need an adapter for it.
One thing about playing with silencers on a pellet rifle in the states they don't consider it a firearm so you can put a silencer on it machine gun whatever you want that's fun playing with pellet rifle 22 cal he he he have a good day at shooting guys bang bang bang he he he
Dear Sir, you idea is brilliant. Also your cutting skills are admirable. Can you please design a silencer for a .22 rifle, which can be home made with simple hand tools. Regards Konrad
Dude, there are just so many dummy silencers out there (this $15-20 crap with a few foam rings and a spring inside) and if you'd ONLY do a 3D print for these dummies, you'll sell thousands of it and get fuckin rich! As soon as you've been successful, send me one, I'll pay for the shipping and material. ;-)
See my comment in the main section. The loud crack you hear is from the gas exiting the barrel into the sudden drop of atmospheric pressure. Like popping a balloon. You need more than sound deadening material like foam. It’s why mere foam suppressors don’t really work well. Foam deadens sound waves, like in your house or car, but on its own won’t deal with the cause of the loud muzzle report. You need a way to get the gases to expand within the suppressor tube and do it slow enough (still milliseconds) that the drop to atmospheric pressure is slower and contained within the tube. A hollow tube wouldn’t work as the gases would expand too rapidly and “pop” out with the B.B. baffles achieve this by effectively creating a maze that forces the gas to travel around.
You dont need, some car fuel filter from napa have the same pattern with already a 8mm hole in each section, almost 40$, after you need an adapter (30$) 9/16-24 to 5/8-24 (24 is the numbers of thread per inch) and make a hole of 7mm in the cap at the other end 😉 i tried one on my G&G SRL and it work really well, and i modified another one for my real mp5... Better than a real supressor at 200$ for juste 70$ (filter+adapter)
This moderator has the potential to be better than a lot of the ones in the marketplace, Airgun prices are going through the roof and saving a bit of money on after market accessories can be a good thing, could buy a couple of tins pellets, some hunters aren't minted and shoot on a budget!
Bobby Thompson make sense what your saying. It's true as far as a price tag increases on the Airsoft. I purchased 5 with in the last month. Highly addictive I tell ya.. Like crack...
