    You can get little finger sized condoms that are ideal for this-fit much better than the real thing, no idea what they are actually made for

    They are used when a full glove is not required or too restrictive/hot

    You can tape a suppressor, it wont blow up but the tape may not blow off until the bullet has passed through it. This may or may not affect the flight path of any given projectile. Iv had differing results with the testing Iv done so closer stuff, bush hunting etc Ill happily shoot through it, long range Ill generally take it off.

    Get the black 48-50mm pvc builders tape, tape the end then run it down the suppressor 200mm so you can re use it after the shot

    Another option would be either a latex glove like the dentist wears, or a yellow "marigold" washing up glove. Snip off a finger off and stretch it over the end of the can, the finger will hold itself on and you're good to go
