[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 2716640, member: 5412"] I can speak first hand here. Lost my hearing in the military in the early 70's. In some situations in different conflicts, the ability to swing the muzzle at close quarters in dense jungle would negate the advantage of saving your hearing vs saving your life. The can adds length. Length engages obstacles. In open country conflicts, I agree they could be used. IF they were readily removable with a quick detatch system. No fine thread unscrewing, no multiple safety BS things that some idiot would design into the system. One lever quick removal. Pistols, are typically deployed before entering into a building or hootch, so the can might not be a detriment if it were small enough. For the record, there are some very knowledgeable folks on here that are familiar with cans and how they are attached, etc. I'm lacking in that field. I'm just putting in my 2 cents about what the length of a can might or might not do in different situations. I shoot brakes in competitions so I know how nasty they can build up with residue. I can only imagine how a full auto after a couple thousand rounds a few hours during a fire fight might look like. [/QUOTE]
