In the latest issue of Surefire/Guns&Ammo's "Combat Tactics" there is an article about a couple rifles GAP had built. One of these rifles was said to be a 16.5" Bartlein barreled .308 that the author shot over a chrono with a suppressor attached. He claims the rifle was sending Black Hills 175gr match ammo down range at 2625fps.

Now, I don't know how calibrated my eyes are but, in the pictures the barrel doesn't look much different, and actually looks a bit longer then the Gladius.
But, just in case my eyes are jacked up and it's not a severe typo in the magazine, would the suppressor negate the velocity lost from 1.5 - 2 inches less barrel?
If you haven't seen it I'll see if I can post some pictures.
