    Why the S over the K for the short 5.56?

    Short 5.56 is LOUD. Lot more pressure than even .300BO supers. Plus, the Vox S is light and strong so you’re not adding a lot more weight.

    I wish I had more experience with suppressors. Are you talking about pressure in the chamber and from the muzzle or back pressure resulting in gas to the face? I’m more concerned with excessive gas to the face than pure decibel numbers. I don’t expect either can to be truly hearing safe with 5.56 out of a barrel that short.

    If db reduction was the goal then the YHM Turbo K is significantly quieter than the Vox K on 5.56, and I can't imagine the Vox S would be appreciably better since it's still a .30cal can. Obviously doesn't fit the criteria for shooting on both a Rattler and 11.5" 5.56, though.

    I hadn’t even thought about the differences between dB levels at the muzzle and at the ear. Maybe I’ll just stick with the original plan of a Turbo for the short 5.56 and a Vox for larger caliber guns.

    I've always had a thing for 12.5" SBRs, and have a really bad thoughts in my head about building out a 12.5" upper just to put my AEM-5 on it.

    The AEM-4 would work on the 11.5" if you want to flex on your SRT and their M4-2000 cans, btw.

    Higher overall chamber pressure. Gas to the face can easily be alleviated with an adjustable gas block.

    Haha. I’m not hear to flex on anyone. Plus, on P-F, no matter how hard I flex I’ll still be one of the poors. The 12.5” guns are intriguing though. The velocity gains from and 11.5” barrel are impressive compared to the gains going from 10.5” to 11.5”. Sadly, NM law limits pistol barrels to 12” so I’d lose some of the legal benefits of an 11.5” AR pistol.

    I’m not interested in an aftermarket adjustable gas block. I view them as potential failure points I’d be adding to the gun.

    You can just set it to barely moderate the gas and forget it. Or you can dick around with buffer weights and maybe install an AR gas vent. I've done all three; I prefer adjustable gas blocks; less noise, less recoil, easily tunable to ammo and cans.
