WARPIG Tech Talk - Model 98 / 98 Custom
The REAL Reason that the 98 Custom is so NOISY

After taking my 98 Custom apart, I was wondering
about how the gun really worked. I see that many
people have been posting about how you can put
tape and other things in the 98 to "quiet" them
down. I am not sure if I am the only one who
is in the dark here, but the air chamber that
pushes the bold back into cocked position is the
culprit. Basically, Tippmann seemed to copy the
action of many real guns, similating the blow-back
gas that is used to re-cock a gun. Well, it seems
that when the gas is shot out of the back of the
valve into the bolt, the "pop" that you hear
is caused by the bolt gasses coming out of
the rear chamber when the seal in the rear chamber
is let loose. This seal is an o-ring that is
on the bolt itself, and opens when the bolt
flys back. Fortunately, I am working on a way
of getting rid of the whole mess...

Dano.
