Is this an accurate representation of the noise (or lack of it)?

 

[ChattanoogaPhil]

Yes. There is so little muzzle report that the loudest sound is the bolt smacking/clunking back and forth (and I'm surprised what a racket these rifles make). Lots of new sounds.... I didn't realize how loud a bullet was when hitting a dirt backstop. When shooting at stuff on the ground i can hear the bullet ricochet and start tumbling making a whirling/buzzing sound and then a twang as it spins off..... Brass falling on the cement pad is becoming annoying.

Ha! I WISH I had that issue.

I might have to move 20 minutes east to Vermont now!

Alright, that sounds like a challenge to Belt_Fed, Phil, and Taciticool 22 to come up with ways to silence the bolt. We just need to have some plastic 22 casing rounds and that will fix the brass on concrete sounds

I have already solved the brass noise. I'm giving the wife a pair of leather gloves for Christmas.

that video is awesome, maybe with a polymer bolt and polymer casings you will have a very quiet zombie stopper. sounds like a lot of work for it but looks very worth it congrats

if i remember correctly someone here was making a bolt buffer type thing and gave out about 10 to people to try out. not sure where thats ended up lately

would it be quieter with sub-sonic ammo? from what I understand you can't fully supress the sounds of firing a round, but you can get very close if you use the right ammo.

 

[BELT_FED]

With hv ammo in a 15-22 the round will go super sonic and the sonic boom is almost as loud as the gun unsuppressed..sub rounds stop the sonic boom and 90% of the noise is mechanical
