>>27723491The PB's idea is very sound.
Noise is minimal, with the forward section of the suppressor attached. Without it, it's just a ported barrel and maybe a baffle or two IIRC, so it can be quite the opposite of silent but still better than a normal gunshot.
>It had a ported barrel and a barrel shroud even without the detachable silencer on. Did that alone reduce the noise at all or just make the silencer more effective?More effective.
>Does the porting of the barrel negatively affect the power of the gun much?Depends on your definition of the word, "much".
It affects velocity to a degree, akin to any cooling of the gases upon the primer being hit.
>I was wondering about about making something similar to it.There's better ways, The baffle/chamber design on that thing is archaic as fuck as is. You can do it though, no one is stopping you.
btw fuck the batfe
