There's 2 things that make rifle fire loud as tits 1- the report of the rifle and 2- the bullet breaking the sound barrier (that's the loud crack heard secondary) The can only covers number 1. Sub Sonics cover number 2. |

I shoot 556 suppressed all the time with no earplugs, I don’t think it’s too bad unless you go through hundreds of rounds in a day. I shoot steel targets, sounds awesome with a suppressed 556, 6.8 sounds like a car accident. |

Eta: I also have a 30SD that I haven’t even tried yet, would be an option to cover your Blackout and 556 needs. My AAC SDN-6 is a 30 cal and I use it all the time on 556 and 6.8. |

I agree, wearing it regardless is a good idea. And my ears are already damaged enough too.
I was thinking the griffin for 556 and I can form 1 a blackout/9mm can at a later time. Really good to hear about the m4sd though! Do you shoot any 10.5 or 10.3 variants with it? |

I'm only 27 and I am almost completely deaf in one ear, and have mild loss in the other, from all kinds of stuff but mainly shooting and being near explosions without earpro; I will likely need hearing aids in the next 10 years. Even if it is technically hearing safe by OSHA standard, it doesn't hurt to double up on protection. You can't ever undo the damage. /lecture

ETA and I used to shoot strictly without ear pro for about a year straight, when I thought I was cool. Yeah, I was not cool. I was a dumb ass. |

I can't hear what any of you all are saying with all the ringing in my ears. Seriously folks. When I was young I really didn't think I would live to be as old as I am now. Which isn't that old. So I didn't give a crap. You should give a crap. I don't think it was the shooting that messed my ears up. I did play in bands a LOT and LOUD for ABOUT 10 years. I'm sure it did my ears no favors.
But a .30-06 in the woods with no ear pro will probably leave it's mark too. Even if it wasn't high volume. I'm all for people putting cans on their hunting guns. It can only help. |

That is a ban era Bushmaster lower. It originally had an A2 stock on it.
That is a first run BCM upper, BCG, and carry handle before they marked anything with white letters. I run it as a training gun, with a SOPMOD stock on it. Probably the most shot AR i have. Lots of students learn iron sights with this one. |
