First, the big no for me is their locking ring. It's honestly annoying. It feels good when it's brand new. Once you put 500 rounds through the can, that's when the fun begins. At 500 rounds, that's when the can was carbon locked, and of course, that's something that is expected with this can. When I managed to unlock the ring, shooting it off was easy. Thing flew like Jeff Bezos rocket into the dark abyss and took me a minute to find in the tall grass. It's an interesting way to take a can off when it's carbon locked. However, once it's off, you kinda have to clean the break and inside the locking ring to get all the carbon off. Otherwise, it's really annoying to put back on.

The big yes for me is how reliable this thing is. After I shot it off, it flew into a muddy puddle and was covered in all kinds of wonderful things. I put it back on, and it just kept going for the rest of the shoot. Paired with the MK18, the RC2 is a joy to shoot. This can is a tank, and that's exactly what it is designed to do.

The flash suppression is great. The RC2 also does a great job at IR signature reduction compared to the other cans out there. Which at the end of the day is one of the most important things when you're running against someone else who is running noodles.

Sound suppression is okay. Your battle buddy will love you cause it is very pleasant to the ear when someone is near to you with an RC2. It is not, however, the can for you if you're looking for that extra reduction in decibels and want to be John Wick.

Overall, I love this can. It's like it was made for the MK18, and I plan on keeping it as my main 556 shush stick for most things. It has a few drawbacks, but they are outweighed by the positives.
