Any reason to waist the life of your can when you're the one being ambushed (they know where you are). Yeah it's issued so you didn't pay for it but it's a QD, just take it off... But, these are 11's though so they're like "dude that silencer makes you look so high speed"

I would not bother doing that when ambushed. Wouldn't even have time to think about it. The thing was zero'ed with the can anyway. Instead, matter at hand is to destroy by fire and manuver and lay as much aimed fire down as needed, rather than finger that barrel attachment. It is providing a reduced muzzle blast and of concussive effect which is desirable. Still loud but for the operator and especially those on your flanks it makes life better. I'd leave it on just not to tick off my fellow Marines. I'm not even sure what the shift in POI is. I had the older M82A1 and did't have a can. For about 5 yrs I wish I had one. It's not much extra to hump.
