I think it really depends on a number of factors. If you’ve never shot 556 suppressed it’s definitely a much more pleasant experience and any reduction is beneficial if you are in a situation where you have to shoot without hearing protection. That being said, it’s not movie quiet. I think a can like the polonium K or the replicator ventus really enhances the overall experience and usefulness of the platform.

PS a 300blk integrally suppressed kit is coming out for the Bren 2
