Umarex RP5 pre-review

The choke slows the pellet momentarily and then instead of exiting free, it pushes pressure into a restricted vessel. Physics is not my strong point but I think I sort of understand why this is happening. I plan to try it out with a muzzle brake to see what sort of effect that has.

I get the theory but slightly confused with how the silencer would cause ‘more’ choke effect to slow the Pellet down further

I would have thought soon as the Pellet exits the barrel regardless of silencer fitted or not it’s at x power as it leaves with the blast behind the Pellet being muted by the silencer.

Physics isn’t my strong point either but it’s certainly interesting.

Confusing, isn’t it?
All I know is that you lose about 3 ft/lb when you put a mod on. Never experienced this on any other gun, so am guessing this is down to the choke

There is a German site that sells an full shroud with no cut outs for these for 40 euro, I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post link, if not pm me.
Maybe this would dampen noise enough not to worry about adding an extra silencer?

I have been thinking along these lines too Can you PM me a link? The idea has possibilities
