posting a few details of your launcher would help deal with your question better, but in short, yes it can be done. An easy way of doing this would be to simply lengthen your barrel or reduce your chamber size. However if you wish to construct a silencer, have a look at these links:

this site has a Search Feature, I suggest you use it in future to avoid asking questions that have already been answered ad nauseum ;)

In any case, the same rules of longer barrel/smaller chamber apply to both combustions and pneumatics, as does silencer construction.
