  • Part I of a video where Dr. Russ describes the differences between moderators, suppressors, silencers, and lead collection devices in this video, along with their rewards for the air gunner who uses them. He discusses the 4 noises that are produced while using your air guns, as well as the solutions to quiet them down.

    Thanks again.
    I have a FX Dream Lite, Hatsan QE Long and Hatsan BullBoss that I normally shoot in my back yard. I normally keep a 3k psi bottle of nitrogen in my shop to gas them up with but due to being a old Vet from VN and health problems I wasn't able to get it refilled so I bought the Gamo Mag a couple weeks ago to keep the critters out of my pecan trees, and sure enough it is to loud for my backyard.
    I have been researching like crazy trying to figure out how to quiet it down. The only thing I saw on youtube was use heavier pellets, but I wanted it quite all the time. Finally I came back to your channel and found your Podcast on Moderators, Suppressors, Silencers, and LCD's.
    You educatated me considerably on the subject of silence.
    I am now getting in contact with DonnyFL and see what he recommends.
    Thanks Tons once again.

Also watch one of my last videos ... which surprised Donny and Izzy in their Florida facility... and know what they are capable of doing. I know Izzy does some private work on individual guns ... but not sure if they can accomplish it with your break barrel.

    My experience with my HP .22 air rifle with a shrouded "moderated" barrel was pretty bad. It was making a huge bang while shooting at the backyard, which was making me uncomfortable to use around my neighbors. So I bought a DonnyFL shogun and the bang was lower now, but it was still loud.
    My son with the same rifle and "suppresser" went from a big bang to a quiet thumb. So I was confused. then I noticed that the vent holes in the shroud was causing the loud noise when shooting, and my son's rifle, which is same as mine didn't have the vent holes. So I covered them with a duct tape, and what do you know, the loud bang became a quiet thumb as well. Now I can shoot all day without bothering my neighbors.
    I was using a sound meter too. and as you mentioned in the video, the dB didn't change as much, but in reality the rifle became silent beyond 5 yards.

      @@drsrussandpaula the Taurus gives the benjamin almost double the range and power of a stock bulldog. it allows for the taking of larger game at a greater distance. the Taurus is a limited production and I received the last one. but not all is lost as the bulldozer version is plentiful. and it is a good powerhouse with 300+fpe, increasing the BD range and power by a third. The cost of the Taurus upgrade is $2150 if they furnish the bulldog. sending them your BD will cost you $1251. the bulldozer is $1559 with their gun, $751 if you furnish your own BD. Veradium Air is an excellent air gun gunsmith for many air rifles. highly recommended by Mr. Hollowpoint. I initially wanted a bushbuck in .45 but I was so taken by your video shoots of the BD, I tried it and liked it. rest is history.

Secondly, no suppressor will change the decibels down to 55 . Suppressors might lower decibels 5 or 10 decibels... but the best thing that they do is change the sound completely ... to something less concerning than the crack or pop of a gun.

    With respect, it is about both the sound level and the sound characteristics. If your moderator vendor tells you otherwise he is probably compensating for something. Consider the measurement of effiency ... dB/CC. That is important. How do we find that? (dB (naked) - dB (moderated))/CC(lvolume) That number speaks volumes. Great video.

      Nontimebomala2267 .... thanks for sharing with us your knowledge about sound.... I am not an expert on suppressors ... but if you watch all of our videos on the subject ... Donny Du shows and describes the use of his db meter in his shop ... describing that the sound level is still part of his analyses on producing suppressors ... and being one of the largest producers of same in the U.S. ... even FX includes his suppressors on several of their air guns and they are considered one of the best in the air gun manufacturing industry. My comment is simply that if you hear a car go down your street with a boom box booming ... it is not a threatening sound to most people and few if any call the police ... and thus changing the sound of any gun from the sharp bang ... crack ... zing ... that they make is a key goal in any suppressor. It has also been my experience using a db meter myself is that few suppressors ... actually reduce the level of an air guns sound.... they just change it. Dr. Russ

    Doc knows what he is talking about. I’ve seen to many camera themes in the air gun genre. Just because we’ve purchased a camera doesn’t make us an expert. I think everyone is purchasing vlog equipment and then trying to find a niche fad that hasn’t been exploited yet. The result is at a commercial expectation. Very few individuals are putting solid usable information out there within their content. I saw a video where the actual designer of the suppressor was explaining how a certain variant of their product doesn’t not go well with a certain air gun because the fill connector would not be accessible. And so you should use these models because they will allow room for the fill connector to be accessible. Nothing was mentioned about how they will perform with that particular rifles setup. Another individual was performing a modification to his barrel because he thought the size of the barrel on that particular rifle was excessive and made it look undesirable. Do we purchase these mechanisms because of how they look ? Or is it how they perform ? According to him there was not going to be any sacrifice in performance. But as I was watching the work take place , there was no way the barrel will be true. The Doc here brings up a good point. The suppressor is designed to cut down decibels extending out in a lateral direction and not so much in a parallel direction. And most of these sound test take place in the latter. So we aren’t really getting a complete result through the testing. Maybe we should change and add that to a standard when testing suppressors in the future. Because we aren’t going to aim our barrels at our neighbors house. Most of the time we would be targeting towards the back of our property away from the dwelling’s. 👍

    I should say that I have a Shogun from DonnyFL for my 22 bullpup Avenger backyard shooting. It’s very quiet with a lower frequency sound. I also have a Tanto, which is smaller and shorter, from DonnyFL for hunting or shooting at ranges with the same gun. It has very slightly louder volume but a higher frequency ping that carries further.

      Dow Hurst ... thanks for sharing ... it is good to hear from you .... I have similar experiences with my Tanto and Shogun.... keep in mind that these suppressors can be used in any future additions to your air gun collection... you will likely need only adapters in the future ... the suppressor is really designed to change the sound versus silence the sound... and that is what is important with neighbors and other critters. I have also found that the largest suppressors, The Khan and Emperor are needed on the large bores ... over 357 caliber. Please keep us in your air gun loop of experiences... Dr. Russ

      I call Izzy at DonnyFL in Florida and first let him know what air guns you have and or plan to buy.... then ask him what adapters and perhaps one or two moderators will cover your air gun collection with the least cost. He is plant manager at DonnyFL and very knowledgeable and I believe honest. I recently did a video in that plant ... so that you can see all of the projects that they are working on. Izzy's cell phone is 689 - 444 - 9445 ..... Dr. Russ

    Dr. Ross, I’ve been having some major challenges with getting my rifle quiet while still being able to group at 100. I was wondering if you had any advice. I’m looking for a quiet rifle that can be accurate.

    Dr. Russ, I recently purchased a Sam Yang (Seneca) Dragon Claw .50cal air gun and had a reputable independent suppressor maker make me a 10 inch can for it. The Dragon Claw has two power settings that provide roughly 80FPS difference in speed, 680fps vs 600fps with a 210gr slug(per Pyramyd Air testing). Can I shoot this rifle with the suppressor installed on both power levels? The maker said it was designed for high power only, and do not shoot roundball through it, but with the wide variety in weights of ammo from 177gr roundball up to 400gr slugs, I can't see how a round could drop enough on low power in 10 inches to clip the internals. I trust this maker very much but I do not understand how it could make such a difference. I may very well be wrong though, you don't know what you don't know until you know :)

    • @drsrussandpaula
      @drsrussandpaula  Před 2 lety +3

      Mr. Rob ... it is touch for me to understand too. Consider shooting without the suppressor on it and shoot thru some paper hanging a foot out ... then 2 feet out etc... to determine the path of your shot. I dont use round ball since it isnt as accurate as I want it ... particularly at 50 yards and out... Dr. Russ

    Definitely thinking about getting one for the 30 break barrel the first big Bore from Hatson they say it's backyard friendly but no way the impact alone is enough to call the police I think FL has something that would fit that it has the screw at the end of the QE primarily a hunting gun I picked up 4 tins of the of,30 HADES DIABOLO got.1 free150 PCs 44.75gr as soon as I found a 30 caliber that was decent quality I did not realize the ammo would be hard to find now I have plenty to do some hunting with and the suppressor is my next investment in September I will definitely be calling them and describe the type of gun I have I'm sure they can set me up it does have the screw off at the end of the barrel someone mentioned to go one size up in a video but I do not think it's necessary 👍

      Ben... Donnie FL makes their suppressors for 2 calibers... ie...25 and 30 ....so I think you are fine... but talk to them and share your other guns so that they can advise the best suppressor with several adapters. I probably have 6 or 7 Hatsan QE barrels ... and only needed one adapter and one suppressor for those. Keep us in the loop on your Vortex 130 in 30 caliber.... it maybe my next air gun.... Dr.Russ

      No... because it wouldn't work... most mufflers don't have a straight hole thru them ... and secondly ... suppressors have tight clearances ...keeping packed air behind the bullet ... to be diverted in dozens of places... and lastly... lawn mowers and dirt bikes are louder than a suppressed air gun...

    A few days ago I purchased the GAMO Swarm Maxxin G2 10x .22 Cal. from Amazon. I have heard from many airgun fans and experts to include you, that the scope that comes with the rifle is not very good. I would like to know if you recommend a good budget scope that will work right with my expecting rifle (I have not received the air rifle yet).

    • @drsrussandpaula
      @drsrussandpaula  Před 2 lety +4

      Alexis Gonzalez ... good to hear from you .... First ... make sure you want to upgrade your stock scope before you replace it .... Second, go to Field Supply . Com and type in scopes.... you will find bargains on Hatsan scopes ... but look for 2 CP scopes (Center Point is made by Crosman) refurbished .... one for about $ 40 and the other for about $ 60 .... they come with high mounts which you will need ....and are less than half price retail... consider the more expensive one if you plan to hunt with your air rifle.... I own the Maxxim.... and those new scopes work great..... be sure you click on the small circular photo of me to access our library of videos including two on Accuracy .... and two on Pellets ....and two that show my wife shooting (one with that Maxxim).....

      My favorite air gun is usually the last air gun I purchased... and my favorite caliber is 25 caliber... it seems perfect for my backyard and the destructive critters that come there. Served in Vietnam during the 1968 Tet Offensive... lost a third of my 44 man infantry platoon as a first lieutenant platoon leader. Shot 3 times and still carry a bullet in my left shoulder that the doctors didn't want to take out... all over 50 years ago....

      Mustang...watch my video on purchasing refurbished air guns so that you might own more than one...
      Two exceptions to that guidance would be two regulated air guns that shoot precisioned amount of air for tighter groups ... still in 25 caliber... Air Venturi Avenger ... or Umarex Gauntlet... if money is no object ... then consider any FX or Air Force brand... remember longer barrels are more accurate.
      Purchase and shoot heavy pellets ... ie.... JSB or JSB Heavy..... then keep us in your air gun info loop.... ps ... I do not know any of the Olympic instructors... wish I did ...
