    Air in the baffles.
    Bear with me, I am a silencer newbie, tho' I've looked at a bunch of Youtube vids. Wish I had machining skills.
    The baffles are open to the atmosphere? If so, in the time frame of the this previous video, the air must return to the baffles, otherwise the can would be pressurized. No?

    I am too, but the reasoning is prior to firing your first shot, there is air in the suppressor and the O2 ignites, causing the pop. The subsequent follow up shots have the expelled gas in the suppressor which either isn't flammable or is at a higher pressure. So, no pop.

    If you wait long enough the gas/air ratio changes to less favorable conditions and then you're back to the FRP scenario.

    You technical experts can fix all the errors I made above. :)

    They're open in the sense that air can enter from the front and rear of the can. The rest of the can is sealed. I'm no scientist but it's a difference in pressure when a can is cold compared to when the pressure is raised after the first shot.

    When the can hasn't been fired is full of cooler air. Someone smarter will be along to correct me.

    Well first you gotta take it out for a nice dinner, maybe buy it some flowers. Then as long as things are progressing smoothly, you start talking dirty to it, suggest you two go back to your place so you can introduce it to your gun.

    LOLz!

    Just bought a Spectre II. It was almost $100 less than the SS Sparrow. I think it's one of the best deals out there.

    Good Luck!

    WOW...what a BAD idea to use a .556 can on a .22lr!!!

    A BUNCH of good reasons not to do it. NOW....If I could only remember, who recommended that to me, I would go and KICK them in the balls. :-).

    Sounded good
