Same here. I'll take a big inhale, break the shot, and blow towards the charging handle to try to keep the crap away from me. My ARs never run suppressed, but I end up shooting my friends too often.

Combination of personal use compared to professional use of various flavors of KAC and SF cans over 15ish years.
Griffin make a good can. The HRT is low flash, quieter than an RC2 to bystanders (have stood on catwalks observing shooters with both of these cans in question), has a solid mount that will never wear out, and has a good balance of weight/length so it handles well. It was actually my getting to observe an SRT that run the HRT can and comparing it to our SFs that convinced me to buy one.
To be honest, I don't watch any gun related anything on youtube and this is the only gun related forum I'm on since LF went tits up years ago. I mostly stick within my social circle and guys I work with or compete against.
I just got into suppressors and got a YHM .30 for my Tavor 7. Love the gun, 4 pos. regulator.
I fired it on a calm day from a static position.
It gassed me.
It doesn't hit me with pressure at all...it just slowly creates a gas cloud I have to walk away from after trying to hold my breath.
No breeze? Gonna have to be mobile.
The 556K Flow on the open-top Mini-14? No gas.
Both guns are short-stroke piston.
I wish I'd bought a .30 flow through can. Still might. A buddy has an M1A Socom he may give me a deal on. That would go great with such a can, too. Except, like the Mini, a 16 in barrel and even a K suppressor gets long.
I half sarcastically want one of those Walgreen's battery powered fans blowing by my face for health purposes.
