WOW, I didn't catch that about the audio being messed up.

Well aside from what is widely known to make an aeg silent, there isn't much on foam padding or "sound proofing". There is very little information about it, other than mentioning its effectiveness in space-vacant guns like the p90 or aug. I think there may be potential there.

There's a hearty post in there by cleric, where he pretty much nails evrything about the quiet AEG. Although most of the links he's posted are no longer good or require a password, one in particular mentioned something quite interesting.

"-Gearbox external stuffing. Mainly filling the space between the box and the body of the gun."

I know on an m4, there is very little room between the actual receiver and mechbox, but i think it's worth a shot if the right thickness of foam can be found. Also, i'm thinking about filling up the empty space in the gearbox, above and behind the spur gear. Some gearboxes have a solid metal block there filling up the space, but mine is just empty space which probably further resonates the gearbox sound.

Do you think there is potential in development in a mod like this? Are there different thicknesses available for materials like "dynamat"?
