Are all suppressor able to accept a small amount of water to eliminate the first round pop? Or are there certain suppressors that are able to be used wet while others are not?  

FWIW, my suppressors are Silencer Tech in 5.56 and .22LR.

Thanks.

A good rule to follow, however, the manual for an AAC SPR-M4 (.223 rifle can) recommends diping the can in water to eliminate first round flash, so there are exceptions.

I tried it once, and it does work.

Could be usefull when hunting at night with nightvision.

Thanks for the replies. I guess I could just email the suppressor manufacturer and check. But, that wouldn't be as fun as posting on the forums.

I hate the muddy water that comes out of my can after using water based gel. Doesn't blow back or anything, just comes out when I take it off and invert it. Shake it like a polaroid picture then wipe it off.

I run my AAC Evo 45 wet all of the time.

I did a demo shoot once. I would run my USP dry, then dunk the whole gun and can in a bucket of water. Give it a quick shake, then resume shooting. My can is very quiet when wet.

The rule of thumb is that the water can create pressure spikes in rifle cans if it doesnt disperse perfectly.    

Nearly all 223 cans are overbuilt, so I dont think its a huge issue.  I know you can shoot 22-250 out of a G5 and I think the M41k&2K.    Hell, I dont think there are any popular 223 cans that you cant shoot 22-250 out of.   If the suppressor can take that, a little bit of water every now and then shouldnt matter.

KAC NT4 manual gives saliva as an alternate to water.
