How is this working silencer possible?

Amos knows how quiet it was lol

Stock? Cause so far mine is.

I really want this muffled sound just like the video

Your going to have to upgrade it then. Theres not many ways the silencer an AEG besides a suppressor, and internal upgrades.

And M4's and the likes are harder to silence than things like Bolt Action's, P90's etc. So you won't be the quietest on the field anyways usually.

Silencers in airsoft muffle the sound by a very small amount.
Mostly what they do is, they spread the sound around, so you can't understand where the shot came from.

I had a custom mod with a silent head set, but an ARS cylinder and piston head set will work even better, and obviously buy the silencer lol

By the way, are AEGs without any suppressors on louder or real steel subsonic rifles? What about supersonic?

That depends. A ruger 10/22 can be made to shoot so that the only sound is the bolt cycling on subsonics. If the same modification is done on a bolt action, no perceivable sound would be made. So, yes.
(REF: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GbjXvH7xJA)]

A suppressed rifle shooting supersonics can, at the muzzle, shoot as quiet as a rifle shooting subsonics. The sound of the round breaking the sound barrier creates the snap downrange, and is not produced at the rifle.

AEG's, mostly, are much quieter than a suppressed rifle (subsonic or super sonic) because the bolt cycling is louder than an AEG (look at GBBR's, they are relatively quiet at the muzzle, but loud as fuck from the action moving.)

With all that said! Most suppressed production rifles of a caliber higher than .22LR, are still pretty loud when firing, most will not cause hearing damage (which is a major argument for the legalization for suppressed weapons in the USA.) The goal of most suppressors is to make a large caliber rounds sound like a .22LR from 100m away, and to mask audible direction, and remove flash from the equation of being spotted.

Certain calibers of rifles show more promise of being suppressed than others. 5.56 is a shitty round to suppress, as it's goal is high speed (supersonic) with a large amount of powder (more flash to suppress, and gasses to slow down).

.300 BLK is an excellent round to suppress, as it's a fat round with good ballistics (a 9" barrel shooting .300 BLK hits harder at 300 yards than a 20" Barrel shooting 5.56), so much that AAC (a leader in suppression tech) has dedicated a LOT of their research to making it a more commercial round (.300 BLK (Blackout)). Here's the wiki page for those interested: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/300_AAC...7.62%C3%9735mm)

Lots more information at AAC: http://www.advanced-armament.com/

Hope that helps.

Lastly, an interesting project was an individual making suppressors from freeze plugs, and he has videos online which are RIDICULOUSLY quiet.

Depends on the rifle and how far away you are

Thanks for the info Shelled. So for mil sim purposes, perhaps it's arguably more "MilSim" to add a mock suppressor without foam onto an AEG? Or maybe add a Noveski Firepig loundener onto an AEG? Of course airsoft still isn't as milsim as using simmunition, but aren't available to civilians and cost a ton.
