Best looking gun with osprey suppressor (pistol or rifle)

Ever since I saw the osprey I was fascinated with the look. In your opinion, what is the best gun you have seen with an osprey attached. Upload a pic or send a link. Can be pistol/rifle/SMG etc. The vector with osprey is great from what I have seen and also the attached pic not sure what pistol

surprisingly the m14

M14 scout and vector
Scorpion evo too i think

Does the airsoft Osprey state which caliber it was "meant" for. Inisially they only offered the .45, but now I see there's a number of calibers available.

It would bug me if I plunked a .45 Osprey on any other caliber other than .45

As long it isnt on a rifle its okay.

Real 45 cans get used with smaller calibers in real life, and it works great. There's sound comparison videos on YT if you wanna check it out.

Neat! I was unaware of that, but that makes sense

If anyone asks, my M14 is a .45-70

I'm thinking of the FNX 45, probably with the red dot sight on.

FNX 45 w/ suppressor

I tried that but the weight of the silencer made the outer barrel went down, and scratched with the slide. This has considerabley disturbed the smoothness of the blow back action.

So this is not a recommended option.

Do these suppressors really work on airsoft guns? Or are they just for show to make the gun look cool?

yes and no.

There is a noticeable pop of air at the muzzle from all airsoft guns

If the suppressor is fill with foam and the inner barrel ends before the tip of the can where the bb will pass through the gap in the foam, the pop will be suppressed.

It's the same idea in which those loudeners work, but opposite to in effect.

The problem with airsoft guns is that some of them are so badly built or shimmed that you can hear the gearbox and can react to that vs the muzzle pop.

Well built guns have less gearbox noise and can be a bit more stealthy, so adding the suppressor can provide some advantage. Properly matched air ratios from cylinder to inner barrel also reduce barrel pop. The more overvolumed the setup is, the louder the pop.

If the suppressor has no foam, the opposite effect will be achieved and the sound amplified. If the inner barrel extends all the way to the exit hole of the can, you get the regular barrel pop.

You have to build the gun with use of a suppressor in mind.
You can add a suppressor to any gun and reduce the noise heard downrange by some amount, but in order to make them fully effective, the gun has to be built with it in mind.

My M14, for example, has 0 noise downrange from 20ft away. The only thing you can hear is the mechbox noise bouncing off trees and buildings.

Good to know about FNX 45, seems to be the goto osprey pistol

Definitely Kriss Vector
