I agree the extra length can defeat the purpose of a bush gun but I think that is offset by the sound reduction in the tight stuff , especially as I usually have the kids trailing along. My hearing is already buggered but don't want to harm theirs. That said I use the big boy now with no option of a can and make the others cover their ears but would suppress if I could... that gun is LOUD in the bush.
