Not sure. An empty plastic bottle (say, a 1 l coke bottle) will work, but
I have a feeling a pillow won't do a very good job at being a sound
suppresser. The reason I say this is because a suppresser works by
allowing the escaping muzzle gases to expand to a limited degree -- the
noise a gunshot makes is because the gases "locked up" in the barrel can
suddenly expand; by using a "chamber" in front of the barrel (like the
empty coke bottle), they can expand a bit, but not too much, and then flow
away into the atmosphere with a lot less noise. I have trouble seeing a
pillow perform this function...
