    I saw that one. Even though I'm shit at DIY, I'd have a fair idea that I was drilling through the barrel!

    Well I guess it's an opportunity to tun it into a decent caliber like 30-06

    He states "Carbon barrel sleeve and matching carbon fibre silencer, making this backyard friendly." but it is CO2 so unless he has magically doubled the rate at which CO2 decompresses then he will be about 750 fps with no spring slap so the silencer will work as effectively as an unplugged set of headphones...(Looks like PPE but does nothing....) It would be like putting a muffler on an electric car......

    However, CO2 shooters are brilliant for back yard plinking...Like the good ole QB79...

    Suppressors work incredibly well on co2 rifles...

    My wifes one is really quiet without one...hard to see how it could get much quieter. No sound barrier crack, no bang just the very quiet pfft. Loudest sound is working the bolt afterwards.....or the plink when t hits the metal target....
