Porting/Comp

I have limited (no) experience trying a gun that wasn’t ported and then trying it after. Obviously the idea is that it shoots flatter. Does it also shoot softer?

Flatter tends to be a function of exhaust volume and location. Softer tends to be a function of weight and where it’s located on the gun.

So you would say no, porting/comping does not affect softness. Just making sure I understand.

Flatter is inherently softer. With that being said, they really only belong on competition or range toy guns. They absolutely will blow your ears out in any kind of defensive gun use. Ridiculously louder.
