Cleaning is not much different than the rest of the rifle. Take it apart and clean it. The bigger problem is the abnormal wear on the baffles due to high heat and pressure deterioration. It doesn't take many rounds before the internals require replacement. Hence the reason they are not used in SAWs and Pigs. They can be used in automatic small arms (think UZI, Sten, M16, etc).
Actually, suppressors can be used on belt fed weapons also. They just need to be durable enough and have other features designed into them that make them more suitable for belt fed use.
I have not posted here in while, but always on the lookout to comment on suppressor use, what they do and what they dont do.
Even though suppressors have been used quite widely in many countries, both in civilian and in MIL/LE use, some misinformation still exists about them, although a lot of education has been made globally and thei info about them is lightyears ahead what it was 10-15 years ago.
PS. Those .50 cal suppressors on the McMillans there are built by us
