Tippmann Supressor

thingiverse

I found SAMLEGO2's Tippmann 98 Supressor (Smart Parts 14inch barrel) and really loved the idea. I have a Tippman Gryphon FX. I did change the size slightly for my barrel but it seems I made it a tad too small and that prompted be to make this derivative and modify it to this extent. The one thing I did not like about his design was the amount of effort required to mount and remove the suppressor for the gun's barrel so I came up with the idea of the adapter which stays on the gun and you just screw the suppressor on and off. I opened up the front of the adapter's I.D. to 22.125mm and the rear to 22.25mm so it slides on just snug enough to not bind on the barrel. The adapter also allows you to experiment with different suppressor sizes/designs. PLEASE NOTE: As mentioned before the adapter is for my Gryphon FX so you might have to adjust the adapter to fit your gun's barrel. At the time of SAMLEGO2's writing he said it should suppress the sound by about 50%. Now, I can't say percentage wise how much it does suppress the sound but it does definitely make a noticeable difference given the size. I am already in process of designing some new suppressors experimenting with size and then with internal design. For this one I used cotton wool for the muffling material like SAMLEGO2 suggested but I also want to experiment with steel wool to see what the difference might be.
