Please forgive my noob question.
I know you can screw a can on the end of just about any rifle, but most of them aren't going to be hollywood quiet.
I know you put subsonic ammo through most guns with a can and you're pretty close to hollywood quiet, but that just happened at the expense of loosing a lot of energy on target.
What I'm curious about is what are the options for any cartridge at it's full power that's still going to be hollywood quiet. This is more of a general question as having a can is still relatively new to me. I don't care if it's a single shot, bolt action, semi auto DI, or semi auto piston. I don't care if it's a full power 5.56, 45-70, 338 Lapua, 9mm, 45acp, or whatever the caliber is. I know there's next to no end to all the calibers and rifle configurations out there, but I also know I'm not the first guy to have this cross his mind.
Surely those of you who have dabbled in the NFA world longer than I have heard this type of question asked & debated about as much as the old 9mm vs 45acp that go on to no end. So simply put, what are my options?
