There is not a lot that you can do. I understand that the Cardonfiber barrels help, and the porting on a barrel will help as well. If you are shooting a flatline put foam in between the barrel and shroud. I was told the low pressure kit helps, but probably not enough to notice. I hope this helps.

Play safe and have fun,

Low pressure kit helps a tad, but they are WAY over priced for what they do.

Seeing as silencers are illegal, you can always make a Co2 cloud suppression unit

A long barrel will help quiet it down a good bit. I shot a flatline for a long time. I recently went to a 18" lapco and was suprised how quiet it became. But as the others have said if your looking for a quiet marker an A-5 just aint it.

Hammerhead is a really good barrel. I have a lapco because I use it with a machinegun shroud. It give the gun a intimidation look I like.
This leads me to a question about this thread, why do you want to make an A-5 quiet anyway, the CLACK, CLACK, CLACK of an A-5 as your raining paint down on some poor souls can really put the frar of God into them.
