pest hunter 151 15 Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Hi lads was looking at getting an airstripper for my gun but was told a silencer would do the same job. Is this true? Thanks PH1 Quote Link to post
secretagentmole 1,701 Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 (edited) No an air stripper is designed to make the gun more accurate, a silencer/moderator is designed to make it quieter. A stripper is designed to reduce turbulence behind the pellet in the barrel so it leaves the barrel more cleanly! A silencer may improve accuracy as a side effect of supressing the noise but a strippers primary function is to improve accuracy! Edited February 25, 2011 by secretagentmole Quote Link to post
pest hunter 151 15 Posted February 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 I know that silencers are too supress noise but was wondering if they got rid of the air as well as an air stripper or just a bit. Quote Link to post
secretagentmole 1,701 Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 Just a bit I think, the air stripper is designed to move lots of air as that is it's job! Quote Link to post
