Huggett or HW Silencer

[luckymjr]

Hi all.

I'm just Inquiring If there would be any difference In sound reduction, should I decide to fit a Huggett Silencer on my legal limit HW100s to replace Weihrauchs standard model,

Regards,

John

No.

I had a Hugget Belita and found it didn't reduce the report as well as the HW on my HW100. It did however make the rifle more pointable, so it's horses for courses. I stuck with the HW in the end.

Baldinio fitted the same Hugget to his Ultra (I think) and in all fairness, it was mouse fart quiet.

Agreed with all.. it won't be quieter but shorter. I had a belita on my R10 for farm stuff & it was 'quiet enough' for the job but not that lovely super quiet like my huntsman classic with the full length hugger shroud. I'd say you'll get away with it in most situations but a few like getting those hatrick rabbit shots will be less likely.

Weihrauch silencers are the best bang reduction per buck. Many more expensive ones make much more noise. The HW silencer is also pretty light even if it is a little bit long.

Thanks for all the swift replies lads ,

I prefer the Twink its shorter than the HW and in my opinion quieter

I just fitted a Hugget shroud kit to my HW100, definitely slightly quieter, almost the same volume but deeper in tone which means it won't carry as far.

You can fit the same moderator to 2 apparently identical guns and get substantially different results. The less air you expel per shot the less noise you make, and I'm guessing the less air you expel the smaller volume of moderator is needed to get the same result. You might get as much gain by balancing the hammer and reg as by swapping the mod. This is why you'll get 2 people giving opposing opinions on the performance of some moderators.

For a couple of years now I've toyed with the idea of doing a big moderator review, gather lots of different mods and test them all. Not saying it'll ever happen, but the idea does keep coming back.
