Running 100 rounds through my gun with a can on it, AR-15 not an M16, is the equivalent of 500 without the can as far as cleaning goes. I cannot imagine trying to clean an M16 with a can after 5000 rounds. That should be an excellent reliability challenge.
Great point. Recently I've only been shooting my AR-15 with my can on it. I clean it every few hundred rounds or so. So just the other day I put a few hundred rounds through it without the suppressor and I was surprised how clean it was; I'd almost forgot how much cleaner it is when you're shooting unsuppressed.

I can't imagine how dirty a DI suppressed M16 will be after 5000 rounds.
