To do this, you'd have to basically stuff the whole thing with some sort of fiber material or dense foam. You would also have to put pads between any two moving parts that make contact with each other (the plunger, the catch, the primer, etc.) and you'd still have the sound of air coming out of the barrel to deal with, which there is no easy way of dealing with for a dart blaster. Lubricants could help with sliding parts, but would also have a small but noticeable impact on performance. Easy, I modded my maverik with AR removals and filled it up with foam, silencing it. Mmph... no performance changings? Yes, there are performance changes, but the gun is still more powerful because of ar removals.
