How can I quiet my airsoft gun's shooting?

Question

I have a Jing Gong M16A2. It runs well but it shoots really loud. Is there any way I can quiet this down?

Answer 1

No there is no way (not legally at least).

If you want something quieter then you need one using gas; electric airsoft equipment will always make noise from the mechanical parts.

But: Are you worried about your ears or your neighbors?

If you are woried about your ears then try wearing some ear plugs, they are cheap and found at more hardware or department stores.

Answer 2

uhh what she says about the mechanical parts... not true. the gas thing is true tho. but thats not the point. if you truly want to silent your electric airsoft gun it will require two things....

1. if you have a mock suprressor, which is the fake silencer that can either come with your gun or ordered seperately, you can edit its function to where it can actually work and not s***w with your acuracy. look for something like this on youtube. you will probly find something that can either assist you or get you on the right track.

2. to make the gears silent, aka the mechanical part, will require knowledge on the use of cogs.. u can also get some information or someone to help you out from hobby town U.S.A's, because the sell aegs... or from an army navy store that sells em too..

my mp5 sd6 is quieter than a mouse. after editing my silecer with a pen tube and some toilet paper, and having my buddy at hobby town do something to my gearz, my mp5 has brought more smiles to my face than a 70's porno. im not even joking its incredibly quiet
