Is there any reason to put a can on a supersonic rifle/load?

Great list Sendit
Not to mention.
loud shooting is uncivilized.
Too add
(1.) With a good can there is no muzzle blast therefore no directional signal, only a bullet crack and it will appear to come from where ever it passes closest to you if your in the field. Lesser cans will have a significant reduction. Subs = a quiet mouse fart.
(2.) Recoil is spread out over a longer duration there for it feels like a push not a kick.
(3.) Kids and wife can take naps while i shoot HP rifles off of deck on my 200 yard range.
(4.) Neighbors wonder why I am hammering on steel, (that is all they hear), think I am in construction. LOL
(5.) Kids will shoot a 300 BLK SUBS, 22LR or even 223 all day and not be scared of it. Great way to introduce kids to shooting.
(6.) Coyotes can be coming into a stand 500 yards apart or 5 min apart and don't know their predecessor has deceased already. Coyotes where I hunt are shot at a lot, they know what shooting is and get out fast when a shot is heard anywhere with in a mile of them.
Way too many to list.

Definitely enough said. Its intriguing for sure, don't know what a can would look like or feel like hanging off 26" barrels, but it sounds like its something to keep on mind for the future.
I was doing some testing tonight with my new chronograph with bullet speed and such. I took my OSS can off to compare the speeds with and without. I didn't have ear plugs because I don't need to use them anymore. I found some toilet paper and packed in my ears. When I shot my first un suppressed round it felt like it was going to cave my head in. I packed the toilet paper in abit tighter, it helped but was still almost unbearable.
That is a big difference.

How did the velocities react?
As far as the velocities I'm going to do some more tomorrow. I'm not ready to come to any conclusions yet.
The reason for no conclusions is the 60 gr vmax were about 30 FPS faster coming out of the OSS. The 55 gr vmax were about 50 FPS slower coming out of the can. Doesn't make sense to me so maybe I made some errors in reading the data. Anyway I'll do some more testing when I get some free time.
