I am thinking about getting a suppressor/silencer for my rifles. I own a Tavor Sar, x95, Steyr Aug, AR's and an AK. I kind of want something that I can move around to each rifle. I'm not sure if that is possible. I also want something that is hearing safe. I don't have a big budget and I have been looking at the Turbo K cans. I think I am going to set my budget at $700. I don't think I can go past that.
What would you recommend for my bullpup rifles? And would these also be good choices for my AR's?
Can I use a 30 cal can for both my AK and other rifles in 223/5.56?
What would be hearing safe for my bullpup rifles? My bullpup's are my go to rifles. I had a stroke a few years ago and I am left with muscle weakness that won't be coming back. Bullpups just work for me.
I am also wanting something that isn't very long but if I have to go longer than shorter I will.
Are shorter can's harder on the ears? Or can I find one that does drop the levels down to hearing safe?
I think the trickiest part of this is finding one for my bullpup rifles that will be hearing safe. My ears are basically right at the ejection port. I appreciate any and all help and information given. Thanks everyone.

Be prepared to wear some kind of hearing protection. You won't get hearing safe from a 5.56 (I even wear ear protection with subsonic 9mm).
Yes, you can use a 30 cal suppressor with 5.56, but it will be heavier than a comparable 5.56 can. It will probably also be slightly louder.
Shorter cans are generally louder. It's a tradeoff for the lighter weight and shorter length.
Look for low back pressure suppressors since most of your hosts will not be tunable. Something like a Griffin Recce 5 for your 5.56 hosts. That's a fairly inexpensive suppressor with low back pressure, good sound signature and a great mounting system.
