    So I ordered one and it arrived. It's kinda weird. It seems a bit quieter. Not enough to matter though. What I'm impressed with is the amount of air it moves. This is a very subjective analysis, but it feels like it moves about 3x as much air as a normal blow gun. It's crazy. I have a theory about this. I think the "aerospike" style nozzle is functioning similar to a jet pump, or an air multiplier.

    Anyway I'm happy with it. More of a shop oddity to show my friends than anything, but I'll certainly use it.

    Gaurdair makes one with 4 nozzles called the QuietForce Air Gun, Cluster Nozzle, 82 dB. The thing is according to the stats it consumes 56CFM but still has a 1/4 FNPT inlet, That's a lot of air for such a small inlet connection

    When I have to paint I use KBS products

    It looks like a prop from a Star Trek movie.
