Awesome, thanks for posting.

Hopefully, one day suppressors will be a part of every Army and Marine rifle/carbine.

You don't get rid of the supersonic crack, but you do reduce the report to below hearing safe in most cases.

Hopefully, one day, suppressors will be part of every hunting rifle as an option without the tax.

The biggest benefit is tactical coms, not noise mitigation, but that helps make the enemy wonder where the bullets are coming from, not really.

As a mostly deaf former Infantryman M60 gunner/rifleman/grenadier/BFV Commander turned engineer officer (bigger booms), I can tell you noise hurts.
