Times are different now. You'll get looked at funny by most for shooting unsuppressed with no hearing protection. Every shot does permanent damage and it adds up.
Can't comment on a full suppressed barrel, all I've heard is that they're more effort than they're worth, but suppressing a rifle is a no-brainer. You'll get used to the look of them and then bare barrels will start looking like the weird ones. Get some nice cerakoting done to make it look a bit sleeker if you need to.
