I'm gonna have to disagree with /u/UncleTouchers


There are different kinds of silencers, some are purely "aesthetic" and are just screw on metal tubes, functionally, you can use them to house an extended precision inner barrel, but thats not really the purpose of them, aesthetics are ... but thats just those ones.


Some are hallow, and don't really do much for the noise volume, these are the most common as best I can tell. however they can be modded to dampen sound, with these they are refil's of mini paint rollers and you need to take off the plastic mount to create a foam tube...but if you get them into a hollow silencer, they work pretty well.


Some like this actually come with foam inside of them already, and they work.


Now on to the misunderstanding of other players, or rather lack of explanation. The majority of noise coming from airsoft guns is the mech box and motor, the motor on some AEG's in the hand guard, isn't even always fully concealed, like with the ares ameoba, maybe its for heat dissipation, but some guns are just too loud to benefit from dampening the barrel.


Gun's that do benefit, are some of the gas pistols, the pistol AEP's and the spring snipers, as well as some HPA tapped guns.



I have the suppressor I linked attached to a spring VSR-10 and the thing can not be heard outside of 10m and is hard to hear outside 4m . after the barrel, noise comes from the inner barrel rattling, that should also be attended to, the stock can act like a megaphone if hollow, like with fixed stock M16's and VSR's and the piston internally can make some noise, the VSR features an air break piston so its not so noisy, but you can modify your piston with a soft pad to reduce noise if it becomes an issue.



Personally I think trying to silence a full auto AEG is a bit too much work, unless its maybe a Barrett, with a large outer barrel and plenty of internal room for insulation.


apart from those foam rollers, if you ask about sound dampening foam, its often sold by the meter squared for like 10$ per m , its used for home studios and cinema rooms and shit, but one m3 will be enough to tinker and play with, or just use packing foam to fill cavities like gun stocks.
