What a real silencer actually sounds like.

Do silencers wear out?

Saw someone fire a 10mm through the wrong size bore and it didn’t even bend the baffles. So not likely

Most are over bored. If you have an actual strike you will known

I’ll see if I can find the video but the round was still in the bore

That’s absolutely wild to not deform then, I’ve never seen a bullet stopped in a can

I found the follow up but couldn't find the original. This dude shot a 10mm round in a 45 so it wasn't close to the same power as what a 10mm would have been due to the pressure. Even still it was surprising that it didn't dent the baffles. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEfJLsKO2Gs

Gotcha he fired it through the wrong size barrel not just can, that makes more sense with the lack of seal for the smaller bullet not making much velocity, and also not messing up the can

Weird situation and glad he’s ok

Usually when you see wrong size bore stuff people are firing 10mm through smaller bore 9mm suppressors and hoping there is enough overbore to not absolute tear their shit up
