    I don’t think I’ve ever met a single person using subsonic 556. Subsonic 22LR? Every day. But not 556. 223? Only when hunting deer. Not for social work.

      If you’re going to be spending money on getting a suppressor and shooting subsonic rounds I think most people will probably go for .300 blackout.

      That’s because a subsonic 5.56 has barely more energy than a .22 LR. It probably wouldn’t even cycle the gun without modifications.
