I have an A5. I want to make it as quiet as possible. What can I do to quiet my gun that would be most effective.

I have already searched this topic and found nothing.

the only thing I can think of is changing the barrel, but not sure which barrel is that quiet.  I heard the J&J ceramic was not as loud as the barrels on my sig.  Maybe someone with experience can give you more options.

Quiet as in internal parts or quiet as in the "pop" you get when the gun goes off?

you could take a 20oz(i think thats the size)mountain dew,
pepsi, coke bottle...you know the plastic ones and fit it over your
barrel and fill it with polyester mix...you know the material they
stuff teddy bears with...do that and your barrel, and your shots
will sound like a "gopher fart"

EDIT: If you dont have a short barrel than fit the bottle over the
most porting you can cover

DO NOT do what he just described. It is a federal offense to use an unapproved silencer.

Taken from www.paintballzone.com:
"  Porting on a barrel is not considered a “Silencer” since it is integral with the structure of
the barrel and the “Porting” obviously can’t be modified for a Firearm and is not portable, Yes, I
know there are quite ported barrels out there, but porting in the barrels cannot be transported to
or adapted from the paint barrel to a true firearm. It sounds like silly splitting of hairs and very
obvious to you and I, but, the Distinction is VERY important to Governmental types, and is the
difference between a $50,000 fine and/or 5yrs in a Federal prison."

So make that $50,000 + teddy bear stuffing.

Cop, probably not.

The BATF will have a fit about it though.

once again, taken from www.paintballzone.com;

" Well enough of my ranting, here is how to get it registered:
     •    Fill out a Form 1, (to make a firearm, yes, you use this form for suppressors too
     instructions on back gives the “How to”). You can down load the form, or what I did is
     get the BATF to mail a “To Make” packet, includes all the things you need.
     •    Go to your local FBI, BATF, or Jail and have them “Finger Print” you on the supplied FBI
     finger print cards, (two of them), I went to the local county jail, they have a Finger print
     scanner machine, that scans your finger prints and puts good quality prints onto the cards,
     because if you mess one up with regular inking you have to do it over, the BATF will halt
     your application until you send in a good set, the finger print cards have to be done in
     front of a Law enforcement official that verifies that the prints are indeed yours.
     •    Go to the post office, Air Port or some other place that you can get “Pass Port” type
     photos, a 2"x2", you need 2 (Two) of them.
     •    You will fill out 2 (TWO) of the above Form 1s with pictures on back, one the BATF keeps
     on file, the other they send back to you, and is your proof of your registered Silencer.
     •    The hardest part is getting the signature of your regional law enforcement official.
         & ;nbs p;  If you live in the county/rural this person will be the local Sheriff for your county.
           If you live in the city this person will be the Chief of Police.
           If you can’t get this person to sign the form you can go “above their heads” by getting the
           Judge for your district/county to sign it."

There you have it, if you want to use a silencer legally, you have the info infront of you.

The BATF is a government agency. Well you just admitted to using a silencer and told your location, so it wouldn't be too hard.

Not to mention a pop bottle over your barrel looks pretty dumb.

When you described yourself you said you were young and had a pop bottle over your barrel...

If the BATF can't find you, nobody can.
