jld142 Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Hello all, been looking at pistols for a while now and cannot decide what I want. i played against a guy a few weeks ago who was using a silent pistol. It was crazy as I couldn’t hear anything even when he was in the bush next to me *facepalm* unfortuately I was unable to speak to him to find out what he was using. can anyone advise or recommend on a silent pistol or what my options are at least. a friend told me electric pistols are quieter than gas, but I have an AEG and that is a lot louder than what this guy was using so don’t just want to go a buy an electric pistol.

Look up the Tokyo Marui Mk23 - or its clone the ASG Mk23 - both fantastic pistols out of the box and can be upgraded quite significantly too. Market leaders.

Skara Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 BuY a EsEsEcS TwEnTyThReEeEeEeEeEe. Mk23, either TM or ASG/Y&P/HFC, the link sonofsammo provided gives you plenty of information to mod them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, Mk23, as above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cromulon1994 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 A somewhat more left field option is a Tokyo marui 24 shot revolver. Especially one of the longer models, the snub nose ones tend to have slightly less power than really needed. Quiet with very good range and accuracy.

The hadron dual screw allows you to compensate if a hop is slightly off too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit like the stock srs hop, heard it's a nightmare to tune but once done, it shoots like a laser. Both the single and twin screw designs are viable, it depends on how much the OP is willing to tweak his gun edit: AEPs are loud and terrible, even the TM ones.

jld142 Posted October 7, 2019 Author Share Posted October 7, 2019 Thanks all for the replies guys really appreciate it! Can anyone recommend a good Mk23 and knee holster harness? Ive seen a few different types online but all require a harness for it. Are the injection molded ones sturdy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive seen a few different types online but all require a harness for it. Are the injection molded ones sturdy? We already answered about the guns (check my first comment). Get a DTD holster and rig it to a panel if you want a drop leg, but I don't recommend doing so, as the gun is huge and you'll probably poke the ground with the suppressor when kneeling. Mid ride is ideal if you want to keep it on your hip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes life so much easier than having to take the gun apart to adjust the hop Only if using heavier than .2s, mine shot far and straight from the box, was perfect. Trying to install a TDC and new hop rubber messed it up. I think I have it sorted now. Will take it out in a week or two and see how it goes!! But honestly I should have left it alone, from the box it was the best pistol I owned for range and accuracy etc. On 07/10/2019 at 19:51, jld142 said: Thanks all for the replies guys really appreciate it!

I would put it on a belt, its a long and bulky thing. It flaps about on a leg holster and was really annoying. Thats my preference though. I use the DTD 3d printed holster personally EDIT** I didnt see @Skaras post... Do what he says Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never skirmished it yet, got a chrono coming & I have been tinkering with the barrel length & fitting an integrated silencer, I'll let you know what it runs at. thing is, the mk23 is awesome (my son has one), but physically it's colossal with the full length silencer fitted & can be difficult to holster etc, the ruger is tiny in comparison & also can be found s/h for as little as £25, so worth getting as a silent backup backup 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But make some wood grips (really easy on the mk1) and add an integrated moderator and they look great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
