In almost every situation I've encountered so far, SBR with suppressor fits my uses, and needs, better than long and loud.
Shooting frangible ammo is the only scenario where it is both imprudent, and unreliable to shoot SBR & suppressor. So take the suppressor off.... :D
Money: I can always make more. Wish people would stop projecting their lack of budgeting skills on me. I keep hearing the, "You can only buy ammo OR suppressor OR training OR ....". Or you can find a way to do them ALL. Nike, bitches!! Just do it.
Time: Unless I get the "You're gonna die in a year" speech, I have nothing but time. It's a passive activity once you submit the paperwork, unless you are 'tard.
Weight: The penalty here is worth the trade-off. But I can drop all the weight with a spin of the wrist. I bet the guys who actually use PEQ's think the weight out front sucks too, but it's use outstrips the weight gain. I feel the same about suppressors. Again, I get huge gains in weight savings though if I choose to twist the can off the carbine. Seems like a net win for modularity.
Length: I lost 1" over the stock 6920 with my SBR and suppressor, but let's call that "a push" when suppressed. Huge gains though when I stow the can in a pouch, and I lose 5". Seems like a net win for modularity and choice. Add in that there are now shorter cans than my 2006 version, that offer just as much suppression, in a shorter and lighter package.
Speed: I keep hearing people tell me they are faster with their 16" carbines. I have never, not once ever, heard someone tell me I am shooting too slowly. Or my first shot was under par, or my splits were anywhere near the bottom of the curve. Sure I'm not Bennie Cooley fast, or LAV fast, but what desk jockey that you know actually is that fast? The top 1% of all desk jockeys? Sweet story, bro. Own that shit!
My nemesis is usually pulling a shot(s) because of bad sight picture and going too fast. Need faster reloads too? Sure that's me. Shooting fast? I got that one covered.
