Suppressor are huge with making the experience better for any new shooter. I remember letting a new shooter shoot my suppressed AR15 (my first suppressor) and they were having a great time. Then they shot another AR15 without a suppressor and the look of shock and fear when they pulled the trigger was tangible. Part of that was my fault for not managing their expectations because I already knew what an unsuppressed rifle sounded like and I forgot to convey that information to them; because I didn't think it was significant.
Now I know better and I can guide new shooters through that transition better.
