Marauder G3, The Things I Do For Fun

[BBGunn]

I put a mini on my pathfinder and it works well but on the drs too loud. Have a 110c on both the drs’s slightly on the loud side but better than anything else i have and that includes the next size up from the mini

That's interesting. I'm sure there is some engineering statement that can explain why a given suppressor works well on one rifle..., but not as well on another rifle???

@BBGun you give engineers waaaaaaayyyyyyy to much credit!!!! LOL!

I think the pressure, volume of air and the velocity of the air when it hits the moderator could have something to do with it.

Whats really weird about the mini on the pathfinder is the pathfinder is close to as loud without as the drs is without

Personally, as much as I don’t like anodized “race guns”. Visualizing that Frog tape as actual paint, looks pretty appealing to me. Or some red like that FX DRS. I’m sure it will look great however you do it.

I painted it with rust-oleum flat army green and it really looks good! I am kind of wishing now that I wouldn't have taped it at all, but I can always shoot it again too. I think that I am going to give it the full five day cure time and then give it a matte clear coat on the whole thing, otherwise the transitions from paint to plastic stock won't hold up for a minute. I've got a moderator to buy in the interim anyway.

There is no figuring for it really. Even the same gun with a different tune can sound completely different. You have to test with your gun, at your own power level. It wouldn't be so bad if the price hadn't sky rocketed on the nice ones. After my STO crapped out, I took stock of the fact that none of my DonnyFL's have. His new ones are even better. It's a tough call, when you throw in price. Maybe I will find something in the classifieds too. The IA1350 has surprised me. I didn't think that it would work as well as it does, without any kind of sound deadening material inside, but since it does work well I am a lot more confident about trying a Ryu/Yoko too. I just know which size I would need, I'd obviously like to stay Ryu size, but a Yoko would make more sense w/o anyone telling me directly a Ryo could do it with an extra baffle or something.

Thanks! Very interested in that. I'm going to look for some user reviews this weekend. The Prototype is a strong contender already, that has impressed a bunch of people.
