Their logic escaped me on this one. 11.5 all day. What would have really been cool is a 12.5. 7.5 even too short for a silencer.

“Do you know what happens when you slice a golf ball in half? Someone gets mad at you. I found this out the hard way.”
Nah.
Suppressors exist for the super shorties but choices are narrowed down. The Sandman's come to mind. But, I do believe suppressing 5.56 in the 7.5" range to be kind of a waste.
The whole point, in my mind, of a 7.5" is for the compactness. The compactness is lost when a suppressor, or even a long muzzle device, is installed. A suppressor or a long muzzle device may take the bite out of the muzzle blast but so will a longer barrel.
I don't think the use of a K can on a 7.5" 5.56 is a waste. You still have a very compact platform and a K can will take more bite out of the muzzle blast than simply running an 11.5" barrel. The Sandman K doesn't have a minimum barrel length, but I would still run their muzzle brake as a sacrificial baffle if you did run one. I wouldn't plan on shooting a super short barreled 5.56 without a suppressor if you had one available. The 7.5" barreled 5.56 are simply not fun to be around because of the concussion in my opinion. Personally below a 10.5" I would probably lean towards a 300blk over the 5.56.
