Here is the entry level can IMO, demonstrated by one of our esteemed members on this board previously.

 

 

I've just realized I have a massive amount of .22 silencer video, including suppressed, but I can't post any of it. I will fix that in December.

Sure, but it won't make a 20" barrel much quieter than the 10.5" barrel.

 

10.5" barrels are thunderous, who knew?

 

I use my 5.56 auto rated can exclusively on an 11.5" barrel. When I shoot it without the can, it comes up your heals from the ground and runs up your spine before the sound or shockwave reaches you.

 

But it still sounds like a gun with the can on. My M11/9 does not sound like a gun with the can on. And I can shoot .22 with even my 5.56 can on in the next room while you are sleeping and you won't wake up.

 

5.56 cans are great for work but not great choices of silencers for normal people laying out the cash and waiting 15 months. They want to shoot quiet aned it doesn't do that.

It doesn't help that to cycle reliably, 5.56 has to be supersonic.  It's a bad round to try to suppress but a suppressor does do a fair bit of work nonetheless.  The centerfire rifle round to suppress is 300BLK, IMO.  .45 is my preferred pistol caliber to suppress as that big slow chunk of lead is subsonic no matter how hot you load it.  And then there's .22 shorts.  Those are truly movie quiet.

5.56 is not well suited for recreational suppressing, I agree 100%. I made that mistake There is reason to suppress it for work or for fighting but it is very uncommonly useful for fun/hunting/pest disposal. Because it still sounds like a gun.

 

9mm is movie quiet.

 

.22 short? .22 long rifle CC standard is silent.

 

Know what the loudest noise is in auto? The bolt, right? No, it's actually the hammer cocking. That weird FA hammer cock noise sorta like when you switch from semi to auto.

 

I went through my recent video and I can't post any of it. I will have plenty of suppressed video in December, I will make a point of putting together postable video.

wanted to view that vid but received an error. good info on caliber/suppressor combos. this fake suppressor shroud is now overshadowed by the dedicated 9mm lower receiver im getting first.
