Madbull Gemtech Blackside Barrel Extension

Enhance Your Airsoft Rifle with the Lancer Tactical 155mm Mock Suppressor

While we no longer carry the Madbull Gemtech Blackside Barrel Extension, we are thrilled to introduce you to an excellent alternative: the Lancer Tactical 155mm Mock Suppressor. This mock suppressor offers style and functionality, making it a great addition to your airsoft rifle.

Mock suppressors come in various designs and can be mounted in different ways, depending on your chosen model and the compatibility with your host airsoft gun. Most screw-on types feature a common -14mm (CCW) thread, although you may occasionally come across +14mm (CW) thread guns and accessories. Before purchasing a mock suppressor, it's important to research your airsoft gun carefully to determine the thread on the barrel.

While the primary appeal of mock suppressors is their cool and stylish appearance, it's worth considering their impact on your gameplay. Adding excessive weight to the end of your gun can affect its balance and make it less comfortable to maneuver on the field. Mock suppressors are available in plastic and metal constructions, providing various options to suit your preferences.

It's important to note that mock suppressors also add length to your rifle. This increase in length may impact your ability to maneuver in certain scenarios, especially in close-quarters combat (CQB), where shorter guns offer advantages in terms of cover usage and quick target acquisition. Longer guns require you to stand further away from cover, potentially exposing yourself more at certain angles.

While a mock suppressor is not necessary, it can certainly enhance the aesthetics of your airsoft rifle. Choosing a model that fits your airsoft gun properly and aligns with your personal style preferences is important. The functionality remains primarily for cosmetic purposes, but finding the right design can add a touch of realism and uniqueness to your loadout.

Although the Gemtech Blackside Barrel Extension is no longer available, it's essential to acknowledge the heritage of the real Gemtech Blackside suppressor. Originally designed for .45 caliber 1911s, the Blackside was known for its simplicity and high reliability. It offered exceptional performance and was developed for reconnaissance missions and specific military units utilizing 1911. In airsoft terms, this mock suppressor can enhance any airsoft rifle with a 14mm counter-clockwise thread, elevating both its appearance and overall experience.

At Fox Airsoft, we continually strive to provide you with the best gear options on the market. While the Madbull Gemtech Blackside Barrel Extension had its merits, the Lancer Tactical 155mm Mock Suppressor offers superior features and value. Crafted with quality and durability in mind, this mock suppressor from Lancer Tactical is designed to elevate your airsoft gameplay.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why put duct tape on gun barrel?

Duct tape is sometimes used on gun barrels by hunters or military personnel to protect the barrel from dirt, debris, and moisture. Covering the muzzle with duct tape helps prevent foreign objects from entering the barrel, which could potentially obstruct the bore and cause dangerous malfunctions when the firearm is discharged. The tape can be shot through without affecting the bullet's trajectory significantly, ensuring that the firearm remains safe and functional in adverse conditions. However, this practice is generally more common in outdoor environments where the risk of contamination is higher.

What makes a barrel more accurate?

Several factors contribute to the accuracy of a barrel, including its length, quality of rifling, material, and consistency in manufacturing. A longer barrel can provide a more extended sight radius and more time for the bullet to stabilize before leaving the muzzle, enhancing accuracy. Precision rifling, which imparts spin to the bullet, ensures stable flight and consistency. High-quality materials like stainless steel or chrome-molybdenum alloy help maintain the barrel's integrity and reduce wear. Additionally, a well-crafted barrel with minimal imperfections and uniform dimensions will perform more consistently, contributing to greater accuracy.

What is the benefit of an extended barrel?

An extended barrel offers several benefits, particularly in terms of accuracy and velocity. A longer barrel provides more time for the bullet or BB to accelerate, resulting in higher muzzle velocity and a flatter trajectory. This can improve the effective range and accuracy of the firearm or airsoft gun. Additionally, the extended barrel can enhance stability and reduce recoil, making it easier to aim and control. In airsoft, barrel extensions can also serve aesthetic purposes, giving the gun a more tactical appearance, and can sometimes house internal components like inner barrel extensions or mock suppressors.
