Doesn't LP make a gun quieter, all other things being equal?

You know what? After all my yapping about LP, I don't have a good scientific answer to that one. To the best of my knowledge, I *think* it would, but remember you'd still have to have enough pressure to shove the ball down the barrel at close to 300 fps, and without tinkering with the internals I think dropping it too far below what the mfg. intended it to run at might diminish your performance.

If it makes any difference, I run my Sniper II at a regulated 525 psi & my Phantom on unregulated CO2 (let's assume a minimum of 800 psi on a warm day) - they're both about the same volume, both shooting about 280 fps. If you dropped the psi to whatever LP is considered (below 200 psi, maybe?), I'm fairly certain you'd have to do some mods to the internals to make it work.

I'm probably eating shoe leather on this one, I'm sure. Anybody have a more technically sound response? I think I'm over my head on this one.
