If I could have all of my firearms suppressed, I would be quite a happy camper. Anything that serves to lower muzzle flash and noise is a practical tool indeed.

For tacti-cool ninja applications, you are right on target. Suppressed shotgun isn't going to be that significant unless you breach as mentioned or play sniper with rifled slugs but even then, as you hinted there are more appropriate tools for the job.

I would tend to think that the people that hunt, especially with dogs and their supersensitive hearing, would love the option of this feature. I digress... this ain't no huntin' shotgun...
