Will a 20" ar cycle with subsonic ammo and a can?

With my experience I will say: Probably not.

Elite Ammunition claims that their heavier stuff (75gr) will cycle reliably. I have not tested this claim personally.

I have never seen or heard of cycling subsonic that works in a 20" barrel.

That is why I did not vouch for that claim. I am inclined to say you are correct.

damn that sucks. Anyone tried it? will it just not eject or will it jam? wouldn’t bother me if i had to manually cycle the bolt...

You just have to manually cycle.

99% of subsonic ammo is not designed to cycle an AR anyway... not a big loss.
