    I’ve got some extra BCA barrels if you want a tier 6 test. Make sure to use dollar store duct tape for the full low cost test experience.

    I'm not worried about damaging a rifle barrel, I was specifically asking about using tape over a can.

    Keep in mind that a suppressor gets hot pretty quickly so I would avoid something sticky like duct tape that could make a mess from the adhesive residue. For hunting it wouldn't be an issue as you're not likely to take more than two or three shots in a short time, but at the range it could be. I like scotch tape because it offers no resistance and is easy to peal and clean off.

    This year I hunted big game with a suppressor but didn't use any tape. I should have. I hunted a burn area where the ash was muddy and slick and I slipped several times. The muzzle hit the mud once and fortunately I caught it before it plugged with debris. I was able to clean it with a q-tip. I won't neglect the tape again.

    I've never tried taping over my can.... especially in case of emergency.

    Discovered, too late, the house guest didn't put a new roll of toilet paper in the dispenser.....

    Saran Wrap or a part of a sandwich bag taped on. Protects the barrel from rain or snow while hunting and the pressure blows it off before the projectile touches it. Always do it on my hunting rifles.

    Junior size.

    Same reason military, at least in the Marines, we put a cap over the barrel deployed to protect from water and contaminants.

    They're called finger cots. You can buy this package and share among fellow shooters.
