secretagentmole 1,701 Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 Er, the longer barrel does make the T quieter than the KT, also makes it more air efficient! Quote Link to post
Seamaster 153 Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 Er, the longer barrel does make the T quieter than the KT, also makes it more air efficient!This is true, I have both and the rifle is definitely quieter than the carbine. The carbine is still very quiet though. Chris Quote Link to post
treecreeper 1,136 Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 (edited) fair enough, I had both side by side on the range and i couldn't tell much difference but I think I am a abit mutton. how do you know that the longer barrel makes it more air efficient?

secretagentmole 1,701 Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 Simple physics. Air is expanding behind the pellet, if the barrel is longer (up to a certain point) the air has more time to act on the pellet and propel it faster by it's continued expansion. A carbine uses more air to get to the same power by dint of the fact the barrel is shorter so more air is required to get the pellet up to the same speed. Which is why it is also louder as more air is escaping from the barrel after the pellet has left! 3 Quote Link to post
mark williams 7,558 Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 (edited) I shoot many a second and even a third shot at corvids getting angry over an owl decoy using my silenced 100`s. Another avenue of thought could be it does not matter how loud/ quiet the air rifle is( with in reason) but it matters greatly how accurate i am ? atb Edited November 4, 2014 by mark williams Quote Link to post
