Yup, with an intact wipe and a round in the chamber the barrel should stay dry for a bit. Only leakage would be around the case as it's not a tight seal until fired. Now ya leave a fired case in the chamber, should be pretty sealed.

[@magicoddeffect]

In practice the backside of this suppressor where it meets the barrel would be far less water-tight than a threaded-on suppressor. But a threaded suppressor that used wipes and had some grease on the barrel threads would probably be watertight enough for some swimming, at least at the muzzle end.

@@rzerizrz the firing pin isnt the only thing that’s going to be subjected to wear/pressure in the least. Most of these classics were intended for older cartridges with lower pressures than their modern counterparts and have a hard time handling the increased pressure. You could reload to original spec, but if it’s something that you can’t replace then I still don’t see it as worth it in a lot of cases. Even if you could machine new parts, they wouldn’t be original. So depending on the rarity, some guns just AREN’T worth shooting anymore. It’s better for a whole group to be able to appreciate firearm history than for someone to get a couple rounds of modern ammunition through a classic firearm before they destroy it.

[@DreyzieArt]

3:17 huh so that's why you manually pull the slide back after each shot in Metal Gear Solid. Pretty damn cool.

[@RyoLeo]

If I recall correctly that not why you manually load in mgs 2. It actually has to do with the fact that the less than lethal darts has less energy pushing them out which in turns mean there isn’t enough energy to get the slide to move normally. Also before you ask no it would not be a good idea to increase the powder load since that risk the darts going through the target instead of just the tip going in. So yeah while they probably got the manual sliding from real life the in game reasoning is far different. Still pretty cool anyways

I have Energetic Armament silencers that use an optional wipe in the front cap. The wipe absolutely helps quiet it. An overlooked thing on the wipes that I wasn't expecting cause nobody mentions it is that even shot out they help. A shot out wipe has a hole just large enough to well wipe the bullet creating a much tighter fit then any baffle. Also as Berry eluded to, it's lawful for me to make replacement wipes using silicone sheet that I get from McMaster Carr. I however must first destroy the old one before I make a new one. A tertiary benefit the the wipe that I like is that with a new wipe the muzzle is sealed from contaminants. As InRange has proven to us over and over an AR with a closed dust cover is quite sealed, that the muzzle is the only thing to worry about. Well a silencer with a wipe solves that.

my guess is that since there are 3 wipes stacked together, the first wipe has the back supported better by the next wipes and thus has less chance of tearing out the hole. the last wipe in the stack with no support will tear the hole easier without support. thats why the very last wipe was missing a large hunk

[@wedge259]

@@larryjimbob with a locked action and a brand new stack of wipes, the "most quiet" suppressed pistol is going to come down to bullet diameter and bullet speed. 45 is a commonly suppressed round as it is inherently subsonic, but it is louder than a subsonic suppressed 9mm because of the larger bullet cutting through the air, and once the wipes are worn you have a larger diameter hole in the end of the can for gas to escape and make more noise. So realistically the most quiet pistol you'd be able to find would be a suppressed 22. My Ruger Mk3, Mk4, and S&W Victory with CCI standards are "movie quiet".

[@larryjimbob]

@@wedge259 thank you for your reply 😊 I appreciate those factors, but did wonder if there is one that is the quietest, ie as said using a decibel meter to measure it in a controlled environment would be interesting.

[@JohnDoe-pv2iu]

On a side note, if I understand the current ATF rules correctly, the wipes are a suppressor component that is regulated. In other words, if you have a wipe based suppressor you are supposed to return it to have the wipes replaced. Being a suppressor component would mean that having an extra set of wipes, is the same as having a second suppressor and would require a second tax stamp. That makes a wipe suppressor not very useful for an individual. If I have this wrong, please let me know but that is the way I understand the latest interpretation to be. Great video!

I think this has changed. I do remember at one point if you had a “fake” suppressor, if you had a stack of wipes somewhere, they could consider your “fake” suppressor an NFA item. But that was so long ago, most suppressors use baffles now. Since the can is the registered part, you can buy all the wipes you want. But as always, don’t believe me, some random internet “expert”, check with the ATF. They post their “rules” online

[@vonSchwarzberg]

"Puthup" does come through after first two shots. I use headphones so maybe that helped. Also a smoke wave passing against dark shirt is clearly seen both times. In no-lock mode a low bass "thump" is heard in addition to slide clicks, guess it's the mentioned gas blowing out of receiver. Thanks.

[@rfswitch4530]

All of this R&D and pilots rarely fire their personal weapons after being shot down.

[@rfswitch4530]

@gofa curself way to overreact. I was just commenting on the fact that this stuff never gets used. A basic service pistol is generally more than enough for pilot self-defense needs. The USAF just invested a lot of money into a renewed GAU-5 project to give pilots a take-down M4-like capability and the weapon system has been nothing but trouble... and will likely not see use an M9 (or M18) wouldn't also be suitable for. I guess we might as well give all pilots LAWs and disassembled 249s. They're just as likely to be used as a suppressed M9 or GAU-5 and would be a lot more effective for an evading pilot.

[@rfswitch4530]

@gofa curself name calling huh? Seems more like you're the keyboard warrior. Regardless, I have first hand knowledge of the recent programs to arm pilots with survival weapons and enough experience down range to know pilots are rarely shot down, even more rarely engage their adversaries on the ground, and that a service handgun was sufficient the handful of times that has happened (mostly long before the M9 was around to be suppressed). If you could kindly point me to the evidence that you have to the contrary, I'll consider my actual experience to be a limited sample and gladly accept any opinions you have that are supported by your data. In the reality, so little data exists, because so few cases exist. The "new" GAU-5 is a POS, anyone who has had to deal with the results of that program can tell you that they've been a massive hassle and an existing SMG design would probably have served downed pilots better. Of course, we won't know for sure until someone gets shot down and is able to retrieve their GAU and employ it against food, or the enemy... I hope that doesn't happen.

I was once told by some people of the internet: "Don't hold the slide shut with your hand! It can damage the pistol!" even though they could provide no good technical explanation of why. Now here's a pistol designed to lock shut that has existed for decades.

[@shawnr771]

Holding the slide shut with your hand, might damage your hand.

[@emersonb5764]

Shawn R nope, it’s totally doable and not painful at all. Try it sometime. Doesn’t even require that much force. If you ever have to take a shot with the muzzle jammed so hard into your target thatthe slide moves back just a tad, you may need to force the slide shut withthe other hand and hold it there as you fire, to get it fully into battery. Of course it’s better to move the gun back a hair so you aren’t using it in single shot mode but if you have no other choice and your life is in danger do what ya gotta do. I can’t speak for other operating systems like rotating barrel or gas operated or such things, but you won’t hurt a blowback pistol by holding it shut. If that damages it, then it wasn’t gonna last another hundred rounds of normal fire anyway.

[@shawnr771]

@@emersonb5764 I did not think it would hurt the weapon at all. Years ago I saw a 10/22 with a latch that held the bolt shut. Looked like a small version of a screen door latch with a groove cut in the back of the charging lever. Kinda snapped into place. I would just worry about my hand.

AJ Now that sounds stupid: not from the “it won’t work” perspective, but from “putting all the force into a small hinged object” perspective.
