You won’t silence your airsoft gun with a suppressor because the loudest sound of manual and AEG weapons comes from inside the gun, the impact of the piston head on the cylinder (plus the sound of gears and the motor in the case of AEGs).A suppressor with damping foam on an unsilenced weapon is more of a decorative accessory, like a small bandage on a massive wound.It is necessary to quiet your weapon primarily from the inside by dampening these impacts, and one of the significant aids is Sorbopad.Sorbopad is a impact surface for the piston in AEGs and manual rifles. It is installed on the cylinder head and dampens piston impacts, thus reducing the shot noise and protecting internal parts from the force of impacts.It is made of Sorbothane material, which is a special material for absorbing shocks and vibrations, patented and manufactured in the USA.
Its use brings a couple of significant advantages:
Extends the lifespan of internal parts and for AEG weapons, even ZnAl gearboxes.
Provides an effective means of suppressing the shot sound of your rifle.
Helps improve the angle of engagement of gears on the piston teeth (AOE) in AEG weapons.
