Paintball Suppressor

Look up suppressor on Wikipedia; the same ideas apply to a paintball gun. Basically, you'll want a hollow cavity in which the gases escaping the barrel are able to expand. Baffles and wipes are optional and are just a more efficient way of slowing down the gas by directing them a certain way.

Warning: any device that can attach to a real firearm and lower the sound of a single shot by at least one decibel is considered a silencer and is illegal in the U.S. It doesn't matter if it'll explode after that one shot, as long as that shot is suppressed, the silencer is illegal. Simply having all the materials (baffles) on hand to make a silencer is also illegal.

Personally, I think that's retarded, as you could easily suppress a gunshot by more than one decibel in a variety of ways that doesn't require a silencer, but I'm just giving you due warning.

(And silencer is a valid term for those nitpickers. It's the legally used term, and while "suppressor" may be more technically correct, the device was founded under the title "silencer".)

RE:

How do you make a paintball gun suppressor?

I'm just trying to make my gun the coolest out of my friends. So I'm wondering how to make a paintball gun suppressor?. I don't need you to tell me exact details, like what size the suppressor is to my barrel cause I have that figured out. I just need the materials and procedure for the...

You know that the length of the barrel, the number of small air holes the barrell has and the way those holes are placed effects the sound your marker makes. Rule of thumb is more holes the quieter. Hope this helps a little, there is really no such thing as a paintball suppressor.

No can do, a suppressor is for firearms with above sonic bullit speeds in your case that would slow an already slow projectile and reduce your effective range reducing your paintball gun to sub cool rather than coolest.

ok, use a 1.75" abs pipe and use 4 urethane 20# blocks, two to mount to barrel, 1 as baffle and 1 as muzzle.

should be plenty of information, because that's the basics of my 65 db pvc suppressor design: one plastic pipe, 4 plastic (foam) disks, liberal amounts of glue... and it suppresses 65 decibels!

in a paintball gun i don't expect it to do anything at all and it may not look pretty either.

Not possible as said by the other person, but there are other ways to make it look more cool.
