I think there are benefits to all soldiers having a can. Production methodology and cost reduction is what will be the limiting factor due to budget. If the suppressor industry can come up with a manufacturing method using Stellite and other abrasion resistant materials that is simple and cost effective...that is where we will see the change.
Problem is, I work in an industry that has been using Stellite for decades...and parts are STILL expensive.
