Heard something in the living room and went out with a gun

I’ve done the shooting indoors thing. Has anyone ever shot a supersonic through a can? If so, was it still pleasant to the ears? I’m curious.

Only have seen youtube testing but still............
Most supersonic rifle ammo is still above the 140db limit or right near it so I wouldn't consider it hearing safe but it would certainly help. However you are adding length and weight to your gun in a situation where being as short and handy as possible is a serious advantage. I'd rather just run with the ear muffs and a 14.5" gun.

As I've said in my other post I can shoot inside all day long. 556 supersonic btw. It all depends on the can. My Form 1 is very quiet. It's a 30 cal can. I made the blast chamber very long to reduce back pressure and also eliminate first round pop. The first shot is as quiet as following shots. If you get (or make) one of the shorty cans it will be a little more nimble but louder. Still better than nothing though. I'm glad I'm able to have cans where I live so I don't even have to worry about this hearing protection thing. Just flip the safe and ready to go.

Okay, very cool. But how long overall isntge barrel+suppressor?

I'd have to measure it but it makes the rifle 8 inches longer overall.

What is the length of the barrel again?

The solution to all this is to sleep with ear plugs on and a plate carrier.

I actually do sleep with earplugs in every night.

They're the same type of ear plugs I use for shooting at ranges.

After only seeing one post on the first page mentioning it, I wanted to echo a light on your long-gun and a hand held light with your handgun. Don't be the guy that shoots his loved one.

00 and #4 buck in a shotgun **you've patterned** is going to give you a lot more projectiles in the bad guy than a compliant rifle.. something to think about.

Why not a wml on the handgun, why take a gun that is already more difficult to shoot well than a long gun and now make it more difficult to shoot by only having one hand to shoot with

As for the 00 buck, yes more pellets that are going to penetrate significantly more through walls and barriers becoming more of a liability than using the correct 5.56 ammo
