You can stop the rachet clicking by depressing the anti-bear trap button as you cock it. It certainly does frighten off rabbits Nick unless you do that, as I found out several times when cocking for a second shot. Of course, pressing the button as you cock, means you don't have an anti beartrap mechanism while you do it. True about the silencer negating the carbine effect too.Originally Posted by Rapidnick

Oh - on reading the thread further, I see Baz has alreadys said the same thing about quietening the loading procedure.
