    Its probably no different to the BAR10, the TM VSR though is a little quieter than both the others.

    What he said :p^^^:p
    If you're trying to decide which one to get. I recommend the TM VSR. It's worth the higher price.:D

    There is a bit of resonance of sound in the l96's outer barrel, if you dampen the barrel with spacers or some material it is quieter.

    This is laborious but works... if one places thin strips of electrical tape on the side and top of hte rear of the reciver where it meets the bolt head, (ie, around the cylinder as it enters the rifle), build it up slowly, till its just cockable. This stops the cylinder 'just' hitting the head, and reduces the crack from the cylinder... Lemming will attest that with silencer fitted (and spacers) my baby its practically silent at 500fps... 328 wont even be effort. :)
