Thread: Suppressors - Am I missing something

Happy to be proved otherwise tho.

@veitnamcam,
Yes, agree will be a small effect as metals have quite low heat capacity, esp after a couple of shots. If you have wet steel wool in a silencer however, there will be quite a high heat absorbing capacity, but again, just for the first few shots.
