Positive aspects of the product (pros):	Great quality
Cons:	End caps unscrew too easily.

Why get a silencer? Some people say they do very little for airsoft guns as there is not really a report from the barrel. The majority of the noise comes from the piston banging against the cylinder head so silencing is normally better around the gearbox area.

The main reason I purchased one was to cover the inner barrel when using the 'C' handguard on my G36. If this silencer was to have any affect, it wouldnt do so like this because the barrel would need to exit into the silencer at the begining, not the end. It does have foam in it so if used in the correct manner may have some affect.

The other reason I got this particular one becuase it was the cheapest one in the length I needed. I didnt see the point in paying out much for something that was really just a cosmetic add on rather than doing something specific. Even though it is cheap, the build quality is there.

One thing to note was that some thread locker would be a good idea!

I thought i'd write a review on this because rallymad_nad doesn't seem to know how to write a review as all he seemed to say was why he bought it.

Ok, so i bought this silencer from wolf armouries over the internet hoping it was good, as there were no good reviews on it to tell me so.

Thankfully, it was.

First impressions weren't too good as it's packaged quite cheaply and i thought i may have wasted �31.99. Once out of the packet the silencer looks pretty cool, it's all matte black with the text "CAL 9MM, H&K PRO SILENCER, SN S13 D210" written in white on the side, and is made of a light and strong metal which is probably aluminium.

So it looks cool, well thats not a great help but we all know we want our guns to look cool and this definately helps!

This silencer has a 14mm clockwise thread on one side and a counter clockwise thread on the other so it took me a few seconds to figure out which end would fit onto my barrel, after screwing it on to my KJW M9T i stepped back and took a look. Again, it looked damn cool. One thing that annoyed me though was that when the silencer was fully screwed on, the writing was facing downward and not to the side like i had wanted but this is probably a result of how the thread is on my barrel.

I gassed up my mag and loaded the bb's and started shooting. I bought this silencer for cosmetic reasons as the blowback on GBBs makes too much noise for the silencers to be effective (as im sure you all know), even so the shots fired with the silencer on were considerably quieter than without.

As a test I held the topslide of my M9 forward when I shot a BB to see what the sound would be like through the silencer with no blowback (I don't think this is very wise so don't try this at home folks. I was using 134a gas just to be safe) and it was pretty damn quiet: It sounded like someone exhaling quickly, which is a lot quieter than when i did this without the silencer attatched.

My conclusion is that this silencer looks good, works well and is definately worth the money 10/10.

I hope this review helps you make a decision if you are thinking about purchasing this silencer.

Dan.
