The problem I find with having the wrong end of the stick is that it feels exactly like the right end of the stick

Got a 50bmg with a suppressor on it in the workshop, being built at the moment, so it can be done.
the reality is tho, the suppressor needs to be big enough and strong enough to handle the volume of gas escaping.
the .22lr shooting subs can have a suppressor the size of a cigar on it and it will work well.
a say, 308, well thats gonna need to be a hell of a lot bigger and so they are usualy 300 to 400mm long 30 to 40mm round and built a lot stronger. Weight? 350 to 550 grams
the 50bmg is over a mtr long 80mm round and all stainless, weight? I would need to measure it but atleast 40kg
