.223 out of a short barrel is crazy loud even with double hearing protection. While you do what you have to do to save you life, expect permanent hearing loss if you shoot it in an enclosed space. I'm not sure how much quieter .300 Blackout is, but it is supposed to be quieter. I was thinking of getting am AR pistol as well, but I really don't have much need for it.
