    Wet, eh? I forgot about that.

    I think I read water can work, but of course can lead to corrosion an doesn't stay in the can as long as oil. Right?

    How about a spritz of olive / vegetable oil? Seriously.

    Dont use veg oil. It will leave a residue and go rancid, and make a whole mess... it gets nasty.

    Water is nice because it doesnt smoke (the steam dissipates much faster), and is quite effective.

    I suppose with a short / "K" can one is getting roughly 80% (WAG) of the suppression a full-size can offers and that's why they are popular.

    Less weight and length but not far away from the performance of a full length.

    I've now got a .22lr, 5.56 and 7.62 cal. cans paid for and in process.

    "When should I order the suppressors I want?'

    Answer: "12 months ago."
