The 10/22 has internals a lot lighter/thinner so I'm guessing it may be a lot more quiet.

The bolt assembly is fairly light weight, which is why felt blowback is low, cycling speeds are fast, and the overall mechanical noise is low (also due to the simplicity of the mechanism.)
I haven't had a chance to try a silencer yet, but now you've got me curious. Maybe when I get time, I'll try it out. |
It's not that loud, a lot quieter than a WE M4. I put a foam filled silencer on mine and it didn't make THAT much difference, but it made enough difference to make me want to keep the silencer on.

Follow up shots dropped in power significantly. Haven't had a chance to do more chrono testing, but it's safe to say that an NPAS would be highly recommended.
I'd imagine Styrak's 0.40g BB's must've been putting out close to 2.5 Joules of power, which is equivalent to 520fps with 0.20g! LOL

In my house, the gun was chronying 420-440 on 0.20's (1.8 joule). On 0.28's it chronied 380 (1.9 joule) and on 0.40's it chronied 350 (2.15 joule, equivalent to 480fps on 0.20's). So not as high as you thought Illusion!

Why fix what isn't broken?
In other news, the gun has incredible range and GREAT accuracy. I got a lot of one shot, one kills. A lot of other kills only took 2 or 3 shots, and a lot of the time I wasn't even using the sights.
