Can flinching/anticipation cause baffle strikes?

General silencer discussion. If you want to talk about a specific silenced rifle or pistol, it is best to do that in the rifle or pistol section for that brand.

All NFA laws apply.

Short answer is no.

Bullet is only inside the can for about 1/6000th of a second.
Similarly, you can shoot them safely bouncing around in a vehicle, helicopter, etc.

i think i have read somewhere that on a standard bolt action .308 that the rifle recoils less than the thickness of a business card before the bullet leaves the barrel. So its pretty fast, the human body cannot move that fast no matter how flinchy you are.
