Tinnitus is no fun; neither is damage (temporary or permanent) suffered to one’s hearing. The same can be said about excessive recoil robbing you of seeing your bullet hit the intended target or miss for that matter. Also, rather than being hurt, or unpleasantly surprised by a weapons recoil, developing a subsequent fear or serious flinch robs you of a pleasurable experience. Additionally, this takes years of training to overcome, or even makes you lose interest altogether. Learning comes with increased observational efficiency and drawing effective conclusions. Marksmanship and fieldcraft are sensory experiences, enjoyed best by being in the moment more completely.
Suppressing muzzle blast to a more acceptable level is the surest way to achieve all the above. All that is required is access to a weapon with a threaded barrel and the silencer itself. Advancement in modern materials and manufacturing techniques, as well the evolution of their design, make them lighter and more effective for their
