Been looking at cans. Was looking at the AAC SPR or whatever, the nice one for the 5.56. Claims higher reduction than the M4-2000. Then I read that you can use their SDN-6 on the 5.56 and I read elsewhere that the noise reduction is similar to the M4-1000. Basically, it would be about 5-9 dB louder. Now I know this scale is exponential, but I also know the sound is subjective.
Has anyone used this on a 5.56? Would I be better off getting both, or can I be served well by one? The only ones I have experience with are the smaller military ones (can't recall the maker, but they are short and not all that quiet, just good enough to mask your position and save your ears indoors) and a S&H integrally suppressed MkII that was so quiet the only sound was the bullet hitting the can we were shooting.
We really need these things at a rental range or something. The good news is that although my wife isn't that excited about firearms in general, as it turns out, she is very excited about NFA items (go figure!). She wants a suppressed MkII more than I do I think, and I just found out she wants to masterkey the M4 (why?). So getting both isn't really a problem, particularly if it is worth it. So my question isn't "will it work" but rather, "is it worth it" --does it work "better enough" to justify the cost?
