How can I make my a5 quieter and more accurate?

I'm trying to get more accurate and quieter a5 and i have about $50 to do it (I'm holding off on the air tank... for now). I found the j and j ceramic barrel for about $35 and i think I'm going to get that. I'm thinking of playing a sniper position, and i will have some time to aim (not snap shooting). The barrel has to be short enough to move in slightly cramped quarters but long enough to be pretty accurate. but there is still the problem of the noise. It seams like when i shoot every one and their brother starts shooting at me. It might just be i'm too far forward, but is sounds really loud (it could just be me, because I'm so close to it). So basically how can i quiet my marker, and should i go with the 12, 14, or 16 inch barrel?

Get a 12" stiffy! they are quiet and very accurate. you cant clean them with a squeegee thow (or it will scratch the inside) but it shoots threw breaks pretty easy.

Re: How can I make my a5 quieter and more accurate?

There really isn't anything you can do to make your A5 quieter. Most of the popular after market barrels (J&J, Palmers, Stiffi, etc) will definitely help you be more accurate.

It's a silencer.

Also, if you put some sort of padding around the cyclone, it would queit it down. Anywhere that gas exits, put some padding. I bet if you ghillied the whole thing, it would quiet it too.
