You just might also find out that some guns shoot better suppressed than unsuppressed. I have 2 30cal cans and some guns like one (Harvester 762)and some guns like the other one (ARC30). You never know until you try them out. Since OP is getting a 22 can, start stocking up on CCI standard velocity as it is a lot quieter than the bulk ammo. Think pellet gun with no crack.
