Hi There,
Before I start. In New Zealand, where I live, Supressors are legal so I am not trying to make something that could land me in trouble here.... LoL
I bought a suppressor for my .22 not too long ago. It is not working bad but thought I could build a larger one that might work better by allowing for more space in the chambers and more chambers.
OK, Ill try to describe what I did here:
All the chambers are 22mm in diameter. 1x40mm long, 1x30mm, 1x20mm, 1x10mm, 4x5mm. Each baffle only has the hole that the bullet travels through a 7mm hole as was measured on the other supressor. measuring the .22 bullet it measures 5.6mm which gives me about 0.7mm gap between the bullet and the wall of the baffles...
I finished the suppressor last night and tested it today but must say I am a bit dissapointed. The little one only has two chambers about 15mm in diameter and about 60mm long and it is still a lot quieter than the bigger one I built... I am not sure why this would be... One thought is that I might have to drill small little holes in the baffles to allow the gasses to expand to the other chambers too, but this should be possible through the hole the bullet travels so I am not sure.. I tried to attach the plans of what I built to give you an idea of what I have done but that did not work, so if you want more detail and thing you might be able to help me them please let me know if I need to send you the plans, they are in PDF format...
If someone can give me advice on what I can do to make the suppressor I built to do its job better it would be much appreciated.
