Bolter barrel suppesor/extension

[Brotherjames]

I wanted to make my tactical marines stand out more and i've seen a couple of folks make the bolter barrels longer and want to know what materials to use?

Cut the barrels off, and replace them with teeny-tiny plastic tubing.

You should be able to find various sizes of plastic tubing at any hobby/craft center.

I use BRASS tube, around 0.8mm and one a bit larger (the smaller just fits into the larger).

Drill a hole into the bolter (0.8mm bit) carefully.
Cut a short length of brass tube (razor saw). You only need around 10mm length.
Glue into hole in barrel.
Cut similar length of larger diameter tube. Slide onto other tube. Apply a small drop or two of superglue down the open muzzle.

Et voila. Suppressed bolter.

plasticard tube buy a mixed bag and youll have everything from tiny cabels to autocannon scilencers

my rule of thumb for supressoors is use something slightly larger than the actuall barrel then stick next to it

motie the silencer does NOT replace the muzzel rather sit on top (or next) to it!

This could really work for my raven guard- thanks!
how many mm should they be?
1?
0.75?
.5?

id reckon 2MM for a regular bolter thats the width i used for my smurf sniper/vet

I think sergeant Telion is supposed to have a suppressor on his bolter, here's a link:

One of my first mini's was a tactical marine who had his bolter up at his shoulder, looking through a scope. Just put this on it- sniper SM!!!
I'll be buying a 2mm rod next week-ish.

Why would you want to silence The Holy Song of the Emperor's Fury?

practicality?
try raiding an enemy base and eliminating the sentries with a not-silenced boltgun. Not easy.
