On a real gun, a suppressor works by slowing the gasses released from the shot, this is done by forcing the gas through a series of baffles.

In airsoft, the sound produced from the barrel of the gun is from the piston head smacking the cylinder head, and from the gears moving. The best way to quieten the barrel's end of the deal (with a suppressor) is to find a long suppressor with lots of porous foam which is soft to the touch.

The effect we are looking for is a dampening of the sound waves, and to scramble them before they can reach the suppressor's exit.

This, however, is inferior to making your piston head quieter, and having quiet gears.
