I have several AR500 steel plates hanging from trees out in the woods behind the house. When the weather's nice I'll sit on my back deck and ring steel with a .22, but I usually use either Aguila Colibri or .22 shorts to cut down on noise. Those both affect point of impact vs where the scope is zeroed on my rifle so it's hard to be accurate. A can will allow me to shoot more consistently and still be quiet.

That's why I bought a MAC11 back in 2005ish. Cause I wasn't sposeda have one. Was approached by a buddy's dad that an estate full of guns was for sale and I should check it out. The dealer doing the liquidation was not SOT so nobody bid on the MAC11. I bought it for the minimum bid $3k just had to get a class 3 dealer to pick up the gun and hold it while the paperwork was completed. I shot it exactly once. One 50rd box of ammo at the range and those magazines emptied in only a little more time than blinking your eyes. Then the range officer came over and told me I couldn't shoot full auto there and I left. Sold that gun on consignment for $4400, got to keep $3800.
When I bought this house, I had tried to buy another machine gun. When I took the paperwork to the sheriff, he refused to sign off on the forms. So I paid a couple hundred to file a trust to buy the MG instead of individual thereby bypassing the sheriff signoff. But the gun sold in the meantime and I got married and no longer had money. But a few years ago the NFA was amended to remove CLEO signoff so don't need to use the trust to buy and SilencerShop has kiosks that take fingerprints and guide you through all the paperwork and stuff. Super easy to do now.
