    I used to shoot my Rohm in the garden at times when no one was about but the LP10 is much too loud, it would be a noise nuisance so I drop by the club after walking the dog to get some sneaky practice session in.

    I use my FAS604 all the time in our terraced house. Neighbors never heard a thing

    I have found the noisiest thing about shooting in my household is the pellet hitting the back of the pellet trap, I think the most important thing is don't let your neighbors see your pistols get some net curtains or draw the curtains.

    I always shoot into a box of carpet or paper with sub 6ft lb guns.

    I've often considered a FAS, even the new 6004 version, but they seem to struggle to make 350fps.

    Still I suppose they are fine if you aren't a competition shooter don't need to produce clean holes in the target.

    I'm still wondering if I could get away with a pcp indoors with the curtains drawn and shooting diagonally from one room to another in the central area of the house. The double glazing might also help deaden the sound.

    I should have tried it with my AA S400 without silencer before I sold it. I could have taken a shot and got the missus to stand outside and check the noise level.

    For a minute I thought you were going to say "and hold the cigarette".

    I shoot a SAM11K out of my kitchen door down the garden, none of my neighbours have yet objected but the closest neighbour is a shotgun owner so he's already half deaf.
