Have you tried this

It seems to cycle my woodsman but I only fired a couple.

I've tried them. They cycled OK in my Hi Standard but they didn't
seem to stabilize properly. A fair number of them passed through the
target sideways for some reason.


It may have to do with the twist rate of the rifling. I know the army
had to change the twist rate of the M16s when they went to the heavier
NATO bullet. I think I linked an article about it here a while ago.
I was just popping them off in the screen cage so I did not really see
them hitting paper. I was just curious how quiet they were and if they
would cycle. It is a little quieter than a regular lr or my shot pin
nailer.

You really need a suppressor to make them truly quiet. If you want
quiet around the house and don't need a lot of power, an inexpensive
CO2 BB pistol from Walmart is really hard to beat. I have an Umarex
X-B-G which is very effective on pests and also very quiet. The CO2
cartridges last a long time and a bottle of BBs is darn near a
lifetime supply. The muzzle velocity of 410 fps packs a surprising
amount of punch.
