I am planning to run a 762 SOCOM MINI on a 16" .308. How does this sound? (the combo, not the idea).

How does it compare to a 16" 5.56 with a SOCOM 5.56 MINI? Louder? Quieter?

Can you pop off a few rounds without your ears ringing? I know it's not medically advised, but outdoors is it do-able without any real cringing?
