Any advice on using a 5.56 can for my P22. Will the lead f it up? any advice is welcome, even if its the kind that i give to most people (the real big smart ass kind).

It will be heavy, and the .22's will fill it up with crap.  The lead/carbon fouling from .22's pretty much requires the can to be disassembled and cleaned.  My .22 can is pretty damn dirty after 500, and after 1000 I feel I NEED to clean it.  If your 5.56 can isn't end user serviceable I personally wouldn't use it.  You will start filling it up, which decreases the volume, which decreases effectiveness.

As a general rule, your suppressor should not weigh more than your host.

There isn't any thing really wrong with your idea, but I wouldn't. The M4-02 is big and heavy. Plus you'll get a ton of fouling in the can, and that is not something I would want in a rifle can that I can't take apart to clean.

It probably won't cycle the pistol well because of the weight.
The barrel on these aren't very thick, and will flex/torque the barrel/frame in relation to the slide.
The slide (muzzle) surrounds the barrel and with the drooping flex will bind the slide.

It'll get boreing qiuck.
