Accuracy is more a factor of which manufacturer/mounting system. Yes, 30 cal can will most definitely work on a 308 AR/Bolt gun or a 5.56 AR, provided you have the proper mounts. Heavy/light is a price issue. Generally, 30 cal cans are, at minimum, a couple ounces heavier than 5.56 cans. Again, strong lightweight materials, e.g. titanium, cost more. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Hold on a second. You can put a .308 can on a 5.56/.223 rifle and it works? Just as well? Practically, to your ear, yes. And the versatility makes it the better choice for a first/single rifle can. But it will also work on a .308 AR? Heavier? less accurate? Yes, 30 cal can will most definitely work on a 308 AR/Bolt gun or a 5.56 AR, provided you have the proper mounts. Heavy/light is a price issue. Generally, 30 cal cans are, at minimum, a couple ounces heavier than 5.56 cans. Again, strong lightweight materials, e.g. titanium, cost more. It seems to me that one would be better off spending more money on a high quality .308 can instead of buying two mid quality cans |

Regarding a 9mm can, I'm guessing it is a function of volume, and most 9mm cans are fairly short? Quote HistoryQuoted:

WOW, this thread is awesome. My brother, father, and I were thinking about setting up a trust soon, and I have been wondering what to get, so I have a whole crapload of questions. Since a 30cal can works on a 556, and certain 9mm cans work on a 30cal (like a blackout), would a 9mm can work on a 5.56? NO! 9mm cans only work with SUBSONIC 300BLK. Supersonic rounds will produce too much pressure and cause the can to rupture.This same thing will happen if you try to use 5.56 in it. Since some 45cal cans work on 9mm, does that mean they would be compatible on anything in between, like say 10mm  ?
It should. I know people are using .40 cans for 10mm although the full power loads could possibly be too much. It was my understanding that on a pistol, and I guess this was more back in the day, but a can on the barrel doesn't cycle the action, turning it into a single-shot? What causes this to not be the case with modern cans? Modern cans use a Nielson device (also called a booster) which uses a spring to isolate the can from the barrel when the barrel unlocks during firing. Does anybody have one of those integral suppressor uppers for a Ruger Mk II? What has been your experience? These were the first Qs that came to mind, but I am sure I will have more.  Regarding a 9mm can, I'm guessing it is a function of volume, and most 9mm cans are fairly short? No. It's a matter of the radial strength of those suppressors. You COULD build a 9mm can rated for supersonic centerfire rounds, but it'd be a .308 can with an oversized bore. There are plenty of short centerfire cans out there (OPs Inc M4-S, Surefire Micro) that are fine with centerfire pressures. Basically, put a centerfire round through a pistol can and the amount of pressure generate at the muzzle when the projectile uncorks the bore will rupture the can because they are not built as strong because they don't need to be and if they were they'd be significantly heavier. |

I like that it only took me two pages in this thread to buy a dedicated 5.56 can
 ....read through and forgot I posted.
I bought a Mini4 for my duty rifle. I might even buy a Surefire for an 11.5" build....don't know yet. Not enough money right now for it. I bought, in order: Silencerco SS Sparrow AAC TiRant 45 AAC SDN-6 AAC Mini4 I will add that I wish I knew how quick the Eforms would be....when I paid for my SDN-6 from Silencershop, I insisted on the paper route...it was what was familiar....a few months later, I bought the Mini4 and I will very likely have the Mini4 in hand first...

Hold on a second. You can put a .308 can on a 5.56/.223 rifle and it works? Just as well? Using similar materials, the 5.56 can will probably be a bit shorter and lighter than a 7.62 can, and will probably be "measurably" quieter too. HOWEVER the difference in weight will be just a few (2-4) ounces, and your ears will most likely not be able to hear the difference in sound reduction other than some tonal qualities (lower/higher pitch). I pulled the following info from http://www.silencershop.com/ YHM Ti Phantom QD 5.56 Diameter: 1.5" Length: 6.875" Weight: 12oz Signature Reduction: 35dB YHM Ti Phantom QD 7.62 Diameter: 1.5" Length: 8.5" Weight: 15oz Signature Reduction: 32dB For me, getting the YHM Ti Phantom QD 7.62 for use on my 5.56 & 300 BLK ar15's as well as my .308 Win bolt action was a very logical choice. If I had full auto, I would have went with a can that was rated for sustained full auto use, but why hump the extra weight if I shoot semi-auto only? |

I won't read all 9 pages, but I will try to post some helpful info and a pic. I have a YHM phantom in 5.56 and a Gemtech Black slide pistol can. Knowing what I know now I would have bought a .3 cal can.
I have friends that use their 30 cal on their 5.56 guns and it works fine, you can move it across many platforms, and it is more versatile. So if I had to go back and do it again I would have bought a YHM in 30 cal instead of 5.56. I would also recommend starting with a 22 cal can. They are the quietest, most inexpensive, and fun BY FAR! Also make it a point to get a pistol can as they are allot of fun.

They take lots of flack, but those who own them speak favorably about them. I've spent a lot of time talking to Austin and am waiting on an M4SDK. Here's a thread on them: http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_6_20/411398_.html The only real argument I've heard against them is that they're not a huge company like AAC or SF. What I find interesting is those same people tout Silencerco/SWR as "one of the big boys", ignoring that both companies are relatively new to the scene and their merger was only a little over 2 years ago.Griffin is new, but I can easily see them going the distance. |

It's usually not a good idea to run .22lr through a centerfire can because most of them cannot be taken apart for cleaning. They are welded shut. .22 cans don't have to withstand nearly as much pressure so it is easy to design one that can be taken apart and cleaned. As I'm sure you know, .22 ammo is VERY dirty, especially when compared to .30 or 5.56mm ammo. So yeah, get the .22 can and save up for the .30. |

I'd rather save the length and weight by using a titanium thread-on can, as I'm not going to move a can around anyway due to the change in POI. So something like a M4-2K isn't "the best" for everyone. That said, I am intrigued by a titanium HALO. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Which assumes that one wants or needs a QD system. Personally, I don't. I'd rather save the length and weight by using a titanium thread-on can, as I'm not going to move a can around anyway due to the change in POI. So something like a M4-2K isn't "the best" for everyone. That said, I am intrigued by a titanium HALO. Thread-on cans are great for precision rifles. Not so much for any rifle which may see rapid fire -- at least not in my experience. Every system has its place. 
Calling a "best" can is pretty hard though. It's all situationally dependent. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Extra QD mounts are expensive. Kinda wish i went thread on. My next can will be a thread on .30 cal. I don't want to put mounts on hunting rifles anyway. |

That's the debate I keep having with myself, QD v. thread-on. I see the pros and cons of both and I think I'm leaning more toward the thread-on. One of the guns I'd plan to suppress, however, would be an SBR, so I could see having a brake on that to help save the first baffle.
