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.

That's super interesting. I wasn't sure if you could in fact silence an airsoft rifle. Science > everything.
