[QUOTE="ripnbst, post: 2716649, member: 16136"] I agree that length could be an issue but if it was known that a suppressor was to be attached we (the US military) could use shorter barrels, say 12.5" to make the effective overall length similar. I am no expert either. It just got me thinking and I know there are people on here with both experience in the service and suppressor experience. To me, a Joe Schmoe civilian, it seemed to make sense. Would the difference in reliability with a can vs without really be that significant? Bad enough to get back to Dennis' point of save your life or save your hearing? I know that the guns will get more dirty more quickly but the soldiers clean their weapons with some regularity AFAIK.
