What kind of can are you talking about? I've seen some .50's with various types of cans, including a wet can and all were still pretty loud. Loud enough to need hearing protection. I can shoot .22LR's all day without hearing protection (as long as it's shot from a rifle and not a pistol).

A 5.56 M4 with a can is still louder than a .22lr unsuppressed, so there's no way a .50 is going to be quieter than that.

And just so you get an idea, here's a .50 BMG rifle with a big *** suppressor, and notice how loud it is? lol

I'd imagine that in order to reduce the sound of a .50BMG round to where it was on par with a .22 you'd have to build a suppressor 20 feet long.

My only worry is send up red flags on sending in the paperwork. ATF, Ehhh this guy wants to quiet down one of his BMG's?

I gottaa dig it up but I have seen a video of a bmg being fired and it was super quiet. And no one had ear plugs on. They even made a point of telling views of it. Might have been on one of the last sons of guns shows. Right at the end.
