9mm and .223

[Delasangre4231]

Is there a can that can take full auto 9mm and full auto 5.45x39 or .223?

Simply put, no. At least not that you would want to use.

Any can with the bore size to support full auto 9mm (ie, probably around 0.400") is going to do a poor job of suppression on a .223 unless it is large and unwieldy. Conversely, a can tough enough to take full-auto .223 is going to be ludicrously heavy when you blow it up to have a 0.400" bore size and add enough volume to still sound OK on 9mm.

dedicated cans it is!

Liberty mystic is as close as you will get and that's semi fire only.

I have found that when you try to get a can that will do everything, you end up with something that isn't optimized to much of anything.

Having said that, the Triple-X cans from American Manufacturing are listed as a .223 can, but have a baffle aperture large enough to accommodate a .30 cal bullet and the manufacturer rates them for belt-fed .30-cal use. Upon request, he has also manufactured them opened up large enough for 9mm or .40 use. For that use, they can make a pretty decent subgun can.

They are not as small or light as some of the latest and greatest .223 cans, but they are built like a tank and still give pretty decent suppression. The dB numbers I have seen posted do not do them justice when compared by ear to other cans. And if you run out of ammo, you can beat your target to death with them.

Garretts post sums up what conqueor was saying.... If you try to get something to do everything you get big, heavy, with sub par sound reduction.
