I just do not see how this is possible, as both cans are enduring the same muzzle blast; actually the longer can is containing more of the blast than the shorter.
I think the stubby can is a great idea, if you know going into the game that you will be giving up some sound reduction for better handling. Before ANY small cans were on the US market, I heard Dean Caputo at a class wishing someone would make one for their 6933's, saying all he wanted was something that dropped the noise level down to that of the sidearm or quieter, that was small enough not to impede the use of the 6933 in their cruiser mounts, and not mess up the handling of the 6933. I personally tried to get someone I know in a major US suppressor company to run with the idea, but had no luck. Now they are all the rage. They actually make a lot of sense on the longer rifles where the muzzle blast is less than the carbine lengths. Instead of a fence post + 5", you have a fence post + 3-4".
I plan on buying a mini for my SCAR 16 CQC.
