Shooting silencer with no baffles

[lmpdtroy]

Just wondering if anyone has shot a silencer without the baffles in it just to see what happens. Me and a friend were having a discussion about it. Thought I would be able to find a youtube video but haven't so far.

That's called the "flaming pig" flash suppressor.

If you took all of the baffles out of a silencer, the end-cap would still constitute one baffle, and it would add a very small amount of suppression.

But no baffles? That would still make the shot slightly more tolerable for the shooter.

You would be halfway to a "Bloop Tube".

Might hide some flash, would probably direct the noise more away from the shooter (blast shield), would probably increase felt recoil.

One of the triple-As I drive past has this very thing on all four of the muzzles: cones, meant more for redirecting the blast from the operators than to actually reduce the sound-signature.

I once shot a chicken that had no bones.

I once boned a chicken that hadn't been shot.

You are a bad, bad, boy!
