I just use my .30 cal can on my 6.8mm. Works fine for me. I haven't tried any subsonic ammo yet, but hope to try some soon. I haven't shot a suppressed 5.56 side be side with my 6.8, but I'd be willing to bet the 6.8 "seems" quieter than the 5.56.
It probably has a slightly lower pitch than the 5.56, which would allow the sound to travel further, but not sound like a gun shot, but more like a thump. |

Thanks. You just really don't hear many ppl talking about suppressing their 6.8's (probably b/c they're not readily out there yet..the uppers I mean) |

I've been using an AAC 6.8 suppressor for about a year now and like it alot.
 It sounds like a SCAR-SD. Video: Full Auto |

Looks great. Wish I had a 6.8....prices of 6.8 aren't exactly friendly though...and neither is IL towards NFA/III items.

With current 5.56 prices, the 6.8 is not that far off. It's maybe 20% more.
I also gave a link to some video of mine that you might like. Just remember that video is a very poor representation of sound. |

You bring up a good point. I'm a grad student right now so maybe after I get hired somewhere a 6.8 may be in my immediate future. Thanks for the vid. BTW in that vid (just watched it...bad ass!!) is that echoing I'm hearing or are those sonic booms? |

I have shot silentbushmasters sbr 6.8 with m4-2000 in 6.8 and also with his 762sd can and it sounded good with both.

I'm hoping the Form 4 for my 6.8mm AAC M4-2000 will be back in the next week or so(tomorrow will be one month). I'll post some results after I get it. Primary use will be on an LWRC 10.5" SRT and a 16" mid-length carbine.

Sounds sweet...oh did I mention I'm not to be trusted w/ SBR's either?  Can't wait to read the reviews and drool over the pics here or on LF. |
