That combination side/linear arrangement is more about trying to have your cake and eat it too. But the cost is the bulk on the end of your rifle.
I have used the Troy Claymore on a 5.56 and there's definitely a difference in sound and blast, especially for anyone standing next to you. I becomes noticeable to the firer when shooting under a roof. Doesn't do much for the recoil however so it's all about directing the blast forward. Wouldn't think you'd get much benefit from using it on a barrel as long as your - I'm thinking SBR's only. No linear will ever be ear-safe.
