    Speaking in general terms, the crown typically does not allow commoners to 'suppress' the report of our firearms, without first navigating a series of fiery hoops, known to some as NFA.

    However, it is permissible to remove an offensive muzzle device, which may be directing the concussion back at the shooter. There are even some muzzle devices which function to direct the muzzle blast downrange, away from the shooter.

    Research: 'linear compensators' but recognize that firearms are inherently loud, and as such, hearing protection will remain necessary.

    .223 is just a loud round, it's not your Mini14.

    It is, right? I think so too.

    I still consider .223/5.56 as being new to me. I didn't shoot an AR until I was like 42.

    I was surprised at how loud they are, and I've been shooting since I was five.

    Is say, a bolt .223 with a 20"+ barrel quieter? I've havent shot any .223's besides an AR, but I would bet that it is.

    IMO brakes make guns even louder.

    If on set of protectors isn't enough, double up. You can always use plugs and muffs.

    The brake on my 50cal bench gun was shark fin style, it blew the gas towards you,
    but off on an angle as to "pull" the rifle away from you, lessening the recoil.
    Just dont be standing off to the side when someone shoots.
