For the most part unless you have REALLY good cover, when you fire theyll know where it came from no matter what. If theyre in range, theres not much that can be done to make the sound undectectable.

all you have to do is make a silencer without the insulation and it will become horribly louder

most woodsball isint played lone wolf. if your gun is silent and your teammate's isint than whats the point?

 

overall even if you were to get a legal silencer, it would be pointless

hmm... sometimes  try to be "remote"  which means, i stray off from my team, either try to manouver behind, or do some recon, but still keep a happy medium between having stealth and keeping in communication with my team...  however, gunfighting is always fun.
