Bruce A. Ulrich That bit reminded me of something I'd heard a while ago that it's easy to make a bridge that won't break but engineering is about making a bridge that will only just not break.
The saying is: “Any idiot can build a bridge that stands, but it takes an engineer to build a bridge that barely stands.” Which is indeed trying to make the point that engineers find ways to optimize and get the same results but with minimal resources. Another well known saying is: "The glass is not half full or half empty, it's twice as large as it needs to be" which also kind of implies the same point about engineers trying to optimize something for its intended purpose.

""When you want to know how things really work, study them when they're coming apart." -William Gibson" Pretty sure people who design bridges spend more time studying the ones that fall down than the ones that stand. :p
I recall someone saying that you don't need advanced engineering to build a bridge that stays up. You need advanced engineering to build a bridge that JUST BARELY stays up -- hence, destructive testing. :-)
It's true. I'm in engineering school and I've heard it many times. Engineers are paid to make it as cheap as possible while making it reach a certain factor of safety. Anything more is extra material and work which is $$.
Beautiful. For once something in one of your videos works exactly as I imagined it did. That's pretty rare. It's maybe better to be surprised and learn something, but every once in a while I appreciate a little eye candy and a confirmation on one or two things I think I already know. Edit: Actually I did just notice something I did not expect. The highest pressure at the muzzle seems to happen a short time after the bullet has come and gone. That is interesting. Or perhaps an alternate explanation: it takes some time for the gasses leaving the barrel to inflate the suppressor to the pressure at which it fails. Either way, very interesting.
to me it looks like the front was simply stronger, and could survive the pressure wave. When the gasses sprung back to the end without much metal in the way of the glass it failed.
Loved the video. In Hawaii, no suppressors allowed. To much mis-information about them. So that being said, I would love to see a Db meter for each shot. Take a measurement with no suppressor as a baseline, then show the various readings on the various shots with the different calibers and suppressors. Hopefully more people in states where suppressors are not allowed will learn the truth about how they work and why we all (50 states) should be allowed to use them.
The physics are interesting, and Smarter Every Day is great, but we have to keep in mind that guns are tools made for killing things, and suppressors make it easier to use that tool. Getting people excited about using guns is not an amazing thing. They are a tool that has their appropriate place, not something to use as a fetish.
Koert DuBois Yes, guns kill things... like the person breaking into your home. Yes, suppressors make it easier to use... like not destroying your hearing when defending your home. I find it really weird that people have got so caught up on this killing aspect of firearms (no, I'm serious). It's not like firearms are the only things that kill, nor are they the most lethal things that kill. It depends solely on what or whom is being killed and who is doing the killing. Education was the 'amazing thing' that was being referenced, and that's the barrier to all things.
Hold on a sec'. Guns don't just "kill things" like it's some kind of accidental side effect; they are a tool specifically designed to kill things. And that's okay, so long as they're handled and respected like any other kind of destructive tool. I can fully appreciate those who are into elegant, efficient tools and the technology behind them. What's weird is when people act like the killing ability of guns is no different than the killing ability of a jackhammer. And what's really weird is when people get in the habit of idolizing guns to a degree that they would never idolize a jackhammer or a chainsaw. That's when it would be handy to have a few psychologists around, to figure out why some people are so fascinated by the power to kill.
Koert DuBois You're the one that first said "kill things". I'm quite happy to say that guns are designed to end life. That's their purpose. The big difference between a gun and most other things that can kill is range... guns kill at a distance. Otherwise I don't care if it's a toothpick; killing is killing, no matter what is used in the act. I wouldn't use the word 'idolize', but I first got interested in guns simply because of the mechanism. There's plenty of machinery that is fascinating and guns are no different. You act as though guns are a magic off switch for people, but people do survive being shot. Rather similar to a modified nail gun really.
As a mechanical engineering student and firearms enthusiast, I have got to say I am incredibly thankful and amazed at this and your other firearm related videos. Thank you so much for making this. This is precisely what I want to do with my career and this fuels my passion to drive on!
My guess is all the threads are intact. The pressure build-up just temporarily increased the diameter of the tube, disengaging the threads. It slid out
Anyone can design a bridge that stands; only an engineer can design a bridge that just barely stands. I love that saying, and it really drives home the idea of learning weak spots, fixing them, and not blindly overbuilding (without learning or understanding).
He probably has a sensitivity to accents. We all subconsciously change the way we speak when we talk to different people. It's how we help ourselves feel familiar and fit in.
Thanks to all parties involved! This was a great video to show my son who has a million questions about everything. Really cool to see the burning gas contained and swirling around the baffles inside the suppressor. Heh! It beats watching a computer animation in a visceral way!
Great video, great subject! I just wanted to mention I agree that the axial force is what physically pushes the suppressor off of the end of the barrel (r2^2 - r1^2) * Pi, and it is difficult to know for sure without analyzing the failed component, but there is only a tiny cross sectional area in the axial direction, the vast majority is exposed to radially oriented pressure. The pressure is applying radial pressure and expanded the acrylic radially to a point where either the threads completely disengaged the metal barrel threads, or partially disengaged until the thread engagement area was small enough to shear the remaining contact thread tips.
yup, that's why you don't use plastic for firearm suppressor bodies. You have to figure out what the blast chamber pressure will be, and design it from there.
Do you think it would be possible to use the slow motion camera to look down the barrel of the firearm with lights to see the bullet spin with the rifling? It would be very cool to see!!
I have seen a video like that, but it was made decades ago, pretty low quality and not that slo-mo. It would be great to see it done with a modern camera.
leo drake , Actually, thats a GREATidea! A mirror set up w bright light down the bore & a marked bullett. Would blow the mirror away but the REFLECTED footage would ROCK!
The main problem with the mirror would be the additional distance. I don't know how they would be able to make light and at the same time focus in the inner barrel.
It sucks for Form-1 guys that the tube is the serial numbered part. $200 a pop! If only that Hearing Protection Act thing can just get some traction and be passed. Take Suppressors off the NFA list!
Those guys are making the suppressors, they have a license to do so, they don't have to pay the tax to make them, only to transfer them. I can even make a suppressor myself, but since I'm not licensed to do it, I have to pay the tax for it before I can make it.
It's an expensive license to get. Although it is the only way they could do this. Since the Form-1 is $200 a pop, it is pretty much impossible to experiment with designs without getting the manufacturing license. What's especially annoying is how a noise pollution control device (or any part thereof) can be legally defined as a firearm.
Doesn't have to be the tube, in the case of a monocore design like that, you can easily serial the core, Just stamp your mfg/serial/etc in the core at the base (where it threads into the muzzle). 1/16" tall letters, at least .003" deep. Can be difficult on small cans.
ATF Published a guidance letter in 2016 suggesting the tube, however that was considered the part "least likedly to be damaged or replaced" In the case of a mono-core suppressor, the core is the "least likely to be replaced" especially when the tube is made of plastic and is prone to exploding. You may need to get a marking variance, but I don't think the ATF would be resistant under these circumstances. The marking variance should be asked for before either the form 1 or form 2 are submitted.
I am a MSME Auburn grad and really liked the demonstrations. Frequently a compression ring is used over such threads to prevent expansion and reduction of thread area as a failure mode for the 308 failure. Equipment like you have was very rare in the 70's. THANKS.
Hello Destin. I noticed a fernominon when I was burning an oily rag which had used car oil on it. As the oil burned on the rag droplets fell off of it, while doing so they seemed to make a high pitch/ screeching noise when it was falling to the ground from the rag. It also noticed that as it fell it would leave a spiral smoke pattern behind it. I remember loving your slowmotion video on how honey drizeles in a spiral and I was wondering if this was a simular fonominon and or something you know about or have even observed. Many thanks Max Savidge. P.S. I love the you tube channel !
Not until he treats his religious beliefs with the same scientific questioning. That's a video that would be worth a sub and title of 'best teacher'. Until then he's just a fun educator living a contradiction he's too scared to bridge with the same logic and passion for inquiry.
slinkytreekreeper. I have a passion for science and inquiry, and I am a Christian like Destin. I have literally sought out scientific arguments that used natural science to try and disprove God, the use of faith, and why I should stop believing, but none of them work. It was too easy for me to explain something, and counter the argument with better information. I don't like getting into the details on the internet, because those debates almost never go anywhere. And text communication is terribly inneficient for true human-to-human mutual understanding. But if you believe in science; the pursuit of knowledge. Then you should open your mind, stop assuming you have the answer, and start learning more. Think you know Destin is living a contradiction? Have a really in-depth talk with other highly intelligent science-loving Christians, so you can do something truly scientific and expand your understanding beyond your preconceptions of what you think you know.
Its interesting to see how what I learned in solid mechanics is applicable to the experiments performed in this video, especially helping to identify weak points of the suppressor! Love these videos Destin, thanks!
The way they engineered that acrylic case was PERFECT. Strong enough to survive through all the important parts that we wanted to see, but weak enough in just the right place for it to just slip cleanly off the threads and fly forward instead of exploding and shooting shards of acrylic everywhere
Destin, have you ever heard about a wet suppressor? It's when you dunk a suppressor in water or use some type of lithium grease to make the silencer even quieter, the grease or water cools down gases from the muzzle even further, reducing the overall volume of the gas coming out of the suppressor thus making it quieter. I would love to see that in a see-through suppressor.
Yeah but that only works if the suppressor was designed to take much more stress than the caliber will dish out. Gases compress, water does not. That means water carries the force directly instead of weakening it. That's also why you can blow open a safe by drilling a tiny hole, filling it with water and lowering a small explosive into it. The water directly transmits the force of the detonation/explosion to the inside of the safe. Same thing with grenades. If you're under water and a grenade goes off closely enough, it's not the shrapnel that kills you - it's the force of the explosion travelling almost undampened through the water and smushing your organs.
@@Radvous Keep in mind that it's the rapid expansion of the gases that causes the sound, not the heat. Subsonic munitions are specifically designed NOT to break the sound barrier, which is the loud bang any bullet with sufficient velocity causes. Fireworks contain black powder. Black powder by itself, on a heap for example, just burns off in a poof. Contained in the firecracker, the force builds until it shatters all at once. Am I overexplaining this?
@@operatorchakkoty4257 from my understanding, the water will cool down the gases which reduces the cubic volume of the gases, thus further reducing sound signature. When gases cool down, they condense and take up less space
@Radvous It is technically correct that gases take up less space when they cool down. In fact, everything expands as it heats up and contracts as it cools down, except for water. Water shrinks until it's 4°C and once it gets colder then that it expands again. That's why ice can break water bottles when you freeze them. But that's only a tiny difference, especially in the few milliseconds that matter for this suppressor matter. Also, the gases in the silencer don't condense...water condenses. I think it's probably best to just google it and put it ad acta. Edit to satisfy my own autism: All gases condense... eventually. But for the gases in the suppressor to condense, you'd need temperatures well below -150°C...
Beautifully relevant video with the Share Act just coming out of committee and possibly going up for a vote soon. Nice job Destin. Coolest video I've gotten to see in a while.
Each one of those people could and should go to jail for possession a firearm silencer there isn't enough stupid as holes out there shooting up enough people you wanna add to the hate and destruction you all are sad
Well aren't you a special snowflake. If you listened to the video, you would realise that these guys are fedeally licenced firearms manufacturers authorised to make sound moderators, so that people like me don't go deaf from our sport. It is only morons who associate silencers with hitmen and organised crime. Most of us who shoot just don't want to lose our hearing.
Okay, I’ve watched the video and I just got extremely excited! What if you used a tesla valve within a suppressor? It would require some engineering ingenuity, but wouldn’t that work? Theoretically?
6:00 while watching this I was thinking I would like to see a suppressor that has tesla valve like qualities. This one (the claws), kinda does. That that means it needs to help a buildup of pressure that other's wouldn't need to be able to withstand I think.
As someone who's studied sound design, I started to comment HOW DID YOU GET THOSE SOUNDS and then you mentioned the sound designer and I was like "duh, of course no microphone would pick that up like that" but it was a cool idea for a second lol and the sounds were 💯💯💯
Even if we had high-speed microphones, most of the high-speed footage wouldn't sound right because the audio would be extremely down-pitched; even if you tried up-pitching back to the real frequency with software, it wouldn't sound right, there would be a lot of artifacts (if I'm not mistaken, it would sound metalic/robotic).
if you cant tell that that slow mo glass breaking sounded like glaciers cracking you should think about studiying something else lol sorry that was just too inviting and yes im just joking, but yeah, those sound effects are pretty stunnign paired with the visuals
@Alexander Supertramp a 22 revolver also doesn't have a sealed breach so they let gasses out by the cylinder. It's why you can't suppress revolvers except for the nagant.
Its all about cooling the hot gas to ambient temperature, they could have added some steel wool and some high temp grease, and it would have made it quieter.
A metal object, with the ability to ignite gunpowder, ejecting a lead projectile that may be used for self defense from either criminal activity, or government corruption is very scary, this video will now be demonetized. Yours truly - RUclips
Destin, I think the reason it failed was not necessarily due to the axial component of the stress alone. It seems to me what happened is that the hoop direction stress stretched the acrylic until you lost enough thread engagement at the aft end for the axial to overcome the shear resistance of the threads due to not as much contact. That would be my guess based on the fact that hoop direction stress in a cylinder under pressure is twice that of the axial stress (pressure x radius/2xthickness for axial vs (pressure x radius/thickness in hoop).
That makes sense. You could see smoke coming out around the circumference at the aft end as if the cylinder were expanding, and then the thread engagement reached a critical minimum and the axial component took over and shot the cylinder downrange.
As 35+ year R&D machinist/fabricator, I've been blessed to work along side some great engineers. I've worked at Primex technologies which was bought out by General Dynamics. We made some awesome medium caliber munitions as well as carpet bombs. We also made the depleted Uranium tank killer ammo.
Suppressors are pretty interesting. Unlike a muffler for a motor where there is an indirect nonconcenteic entrance and exit a suppressor has to cut volume and flash while keeping a concentric entrance and exit. Pretty interesting and definitely something worth trying out fluid dynamics to better map explosive forces and sound waves.
Awesome, impressive images, very interesting to see AND hear what a suppressor actually does. I'd heard silencers/suppressors don't silence a gun as much as they do in movies, but untill now I hadn't seen (/heard) anyone give a taste of what it DOES do, so thank you for that.
it's possible to get a firearm about as quiet as suppressed ones are in movies if you use subsonic ammunition and depending on your can, but the sound effect will still be different probably.
Hi Destin! I love your channel and all your guests. I know i'm many years too late on this video to be relevant but please let your guests be as excited as you are!

Yep. Every bridge you've ever been on and will ever be on is not technically 100% safe. Just built to be "good enough".
Beautiful. For once something in one of your videos works exactly as I imagined it did. That's pretty rare. It's maybe better to be surprised and learn something, but every once in a while I appreciate a little eye candy and a confirmation on one or two things I think I already know.

Or perhaps an alternate explanation: it takes some time for the gasses leaving the barrel to inflate the suppressor to the pressure at which it fails. Either way, very interesting.
You should try a DIY suppressor.
to me it looks like the front was simply stronger, and could survive the pressure wave. When the gasses sprung back to the end without much metal in the way of the glass it failed.
The pressure wave bounces back from the front to the back, then the stress from that collision of the pressure wave at the muzzle breaks the acrylic.
IMO, the gasses escaping through the threads damaged the acrylic. From there, the structural failure propagated, leading to total failure.
pierrecurie exactly, but I think that happens after the rebound of the pressure wave, explaining the time lag
Well done... I always look forward to your videos.

As a mechanical engineering student and firearms enthusiast, I have got to say I am incredibly thankful and amazed at this and your other firearm related videos. Thank you so much for making this. This is precisely what I want to do with my career and this fuels my passion to drive on!
This is easily the best video on RUclips. I’ve watched probably 10 times over the years
1:53 For a second I read "amore" on the suppressor.
Yeah lol
I read it “Ore”... *glass ore i guess?*
That's Amore!
2am.. Sleep or SmarterEveryDay?
Welp, I've got the rest of my life to sleep.
3am here xD gn man
BaRKy not even kidding the video I watched before this one was your archipelagos map showcase lmao
same
Good thinking buddy
Where do you live, where I am it's only 9:30 PM
2:30 when she says she wants kids
Lmao
Yeet
Wtf
Well, that's how I got the first one, anyway. Fired a shot through some weak material :)
🤣
6:00 the start of a cod trailer be like
I like your pfp
originality 100
LOL
😂😂😂😂🤣
6:05 when scarllet witch breaks the mind stone but thanos reverse the time
That spiral suppressor was really pretty and cool.
I love how the first one didn't really "break", but just rocket man'd off the threads
My guess is all the threads are intact. The pressure build-up just temporarily increased the diameter of the tube, disengaging the threads. It slid out
Anyone can design a bridge that stands; only an engineer can design a bridge that just barely stands. I love that saying, and it really drives home the idea of learning weak spots, fixing them, and not blindly overbuilding (without learning or understanding).
I like how his accent gets thicker when he's talking about guns.
yeah it did get thicker as the video went on LOL
all of our types get heavily accented when we talk about guns
He probably has a sensitivity to accents. We all subconsciously change the way we speak when we talk to different people. It's how we help ourselves feel familiar and fit in.
StrobeFireStudios it’s just the south. If I talk to someone with a stronger southern accent then me my accent gets stronger
His IQ drops too.
Best sound ever at 6:17
Ikr
TheCRusingGamer almost like asmr
Ooohhhhh myyyy gggooooooood
It's like the sound on the PS2 when it boots
Same here. Fantastic sound that would be put to good use for those ASMR videos.
I swear if destin had a Netflix series. I would binge it
Sweet idea
I predict it's going to happen!!!
Thanks to all parties involved! This was a great video to show my son who has a million questions about everything. Really cool to see the burning gas contained and swirling around the baffles inside the suppressor. Heh! It beats watching a computer animation in a visceral way!
Great video, great subject! I just wanted to mention I agree that the axial force is what physically pushes the suppressor off of the end of the barrel (r2^2 - r1^2) * Pi, and it is difficult to know for sure without analyzing the failed component, but there is only a tiny cross sectional area in the axial direction, the vast majority is exposed to radially oriented pressure. The pressure is applying radial pressure and expanded the acrylic radially to a point where either the threads completely disengaged the metal barrel threads, or partially disengaged until the thread engagement area was small enough to shear the remaining contact thread tips.
Thank u math leprechaun
yup, that's why you don't use plastic for firearm suppressor bodies. You have to figure out what the blast chamber pressure will be, and design it from there.
The sound design was so good!
2:25 man imagine that being a movie intro.
The P-Hub yes
Repeal the need for tax stamps.
This thing is super very dangerous, but for 200 bucks we will let you own it.
Why?
@@paleo704It makes firearms safer with hearing risk.
It looks like it might get repealed!
Free men dont ask permission. Be a man
Do you think it would be possible to use the slow motion camera to look down the barrel of the firearm with lights to see the bullet spin with the rifling? It would be very cool to see!!
They could sacrifice a mirror so that you could look directly down the length of the barrel! Everyone like so Destin sees this!
I have seen a video like that, but it was made decades ago, pretty low quality and not that slo-mo. It would be great to see it done with a modern camera.
leo drake , Actually, thats a GREATidea! A mirror set up w bright light down the bore & a marked bullett. Would blow the mirror away but the REFLECTED footage would ROCK!
The main problem with the mirror would be the additional distance. I don't know how they would be able to make light and at the same time focus in the inner barrel.
Hoch134 use a beamsplitter to place the camera and the lightsource in the same virtual location.
It sucks for Form-1 guys that the tube is the serial numbered part. $200 a pop! If only that Hearing Protection Act thing can just get some traction and be passed. Take Suppressors off the NFA list!
Those guys are making the suppressors, they have a license to do so, they don't have to pay the tax to make them, only to transfer them. I can even make a suppressor myself, but since I'm not licensed to do it, I have to pay the tax for it before I can make it.
It's an expensive license to get. Although it is the only way they could do this. Since the Form-1 is $200 a pop, it is pretty much impossible to experiment with designs without getting the manufacturing license. What's especially annoying is how a noise pollution control device (or any part thereof) can be legally defined as a firearm.
Doesn't have to be the tube, in the case of a monocore design like that, you can easily serial the core, Just stamp your mfg/serial/etc in the core at the base (where it threads into the muzzle). 1/16" tall letters, at least .003" deep. Can be difficult on small cans.
That I did not know. I've always heard the tube specified.
ATF Published a guidance letter in 2016 suggesting the tube, however that was considered the part "least likedly to be damaged or replaced" In the case of a mono-core suppressor, the core is the "least likely to be replaced" especially when the tube is made of plastic and is prone to exploding. You may need to get a marking variance, but I don't think the ATF would be resistant under these circumstances. The marking variance should be asked for before either the form 1 or form 2 are submitted.
1:52 Looks like the supressor says "MORE" O_o
Ram Laska omg man
Ikr!!!😶
I am a MSME Auburn grad and really liked the demonstrations. Frequently a compression ring is used over such threads to prevent expansion and reduction of thread area as a failure mode for the 308 failure. Equipment like you have was very rare in the 70's. THANKS.
Amazing amazing wow . I am so impressed . Good video . I shared it to 10 people it was so good lol.
wtf a 3mil youtuber has got no comment in his comment for 3 years
Hello Destin. I noticed a fernominon when I was burning an oily rag which had used car oil on it. As the oil burned on the rag droplets fell off of it, while doing so they seemed to make a high pitch/ screeching noise when it was falling to the ground from the rag. It also noticed that as it fell it would leave a spiral smoke pattern behind it. I remember loving your slowmotion video on how honey drizeles in a spiral and I was wondering if this was a simular fonominon and or something you know about or have even observed. Many thanks Max Savidge. P.S. I love the you tube channel !
Phenomenon*
I've noticed something similar when burning plastic or wax drips. Would be very interesting to know how the acoustics work.
6:15 ASMR
You've always had a quality channel man. Always interesting, and always delivering! Thank you for the content.
Destin is the best teacher ive ever had :)
Paul 5 agreed. I love his explanations of the science behind things
Not until he treats his religious beliefs with the same scientific questioning. That's a video that would be worth a sub and title of 'best teacher'. Until then he's just a fun educator living a contradiction he's too scared to bridge with the same logic and passion for inquiry.
How sad, no wonder americas failed
slinkytreekreeper. I have a passion for science and inquiry, and I am a Christian like Destin. I have literally sought out scientific arguments that used natural science to try and disprove God, the use of faith, and why I should stop believing, but none of them work. It was too easy for me to explain something, and counter the argument with better information. I don't like getting into the details on the internet, because those debates almost never go anywhere. And text communication is terribly inneficient for true human-to-human mutual understanding. But if you believe in science; the pursuit of knowledge. Then you should open your mind, stop assuming you have the answer, and start learning more. Think you know Destin is living a contradiction? Have a really in-depth talk with other highly intelligent science-loving Christians, so you can do something truly scientific and expand your understanding beyond your preconceptions of what you think you know.
Yeah? Tell me what you learned with this video.
6.24 sound recording is just pure magic man, very beautiful,superb video as always. Great work bro.
The sound was made after the recording
It blows my mind! Those sounds are created by a sound engineer! Those are not the sound recorded.
I own a couple suppressors. After seeing this video, I think my next will be a Soteria.
Its interesting to see how what I learned in solid mechanics is applicable to the experiments performed in this video, especially helping to identify weak points of the suppressor!
Love these videos Destin, thanks!

6:22 the sound is so awesome 😎😎great videos
I was gonna go to bed, but then I had to watch this.
The way they engineered that acrylic case was PERFECT. Strong enough to survive through all the important parts that we wanted to see, but weak enough in just the right place for it to just slip cleanly off the threads and fly forward instead of exploding and shooting shards of acrylic everywhere
2:30 and 3:16 let's fly
6:02 MAYDAY!
Destin, have you ever heard about a wet suppressor? It's when you dunk a suppressor in water or use some type of lithium grease to make the silencer even quieter, the grease or water cools down gases from the muzzle even further, reducing the overall volume of the gas coming out of the suppressor thus making it quieter. I would love to see that in a see-through suppressor.
Yeah but that only works if the suppressor was designed to take much more stress than the caliber will dish out.
Gases compress, water does not. That means water carries the force directly instead of weakening it.
That's also why you can blow open a safe by drilling a tiny hole, filling it with water and lowering a small explosive into it.
The water directly transmits the force of the detonation/explosion to the inside of the safe.
Same thing with grenades. If you're under water and a grenade goes off closely enough, it's not the shrapnel that kills you - it's the force of the explosion travelling almost undampened through the water and smushing your organs.
@@operatorchakkoty4257 ohh very interesting, good point there
@@Radvous Keep in mind that it's the rapid expansion of the gases that causes the sound, not the heat.
Subsonic munitions are specifically designed NOT to break the sound barrier, which is the loud bang any bullet with sufficient velocity causes.
Fireworks contain black powder. Black powder by itself, on a heap for example, just burns off in a poof. Contained in the firecracker, the force builds until it shatters all at once.
Am I overexplaining this?
@@operatorchakkoty4257 from my understanding, the water will cool down the gases which reduces the cubic volume of the gases, thus further reducing sound signature. When gases cool down, they condense and take up less space
@Radvous It is technically correct that gases take up less space when they cool down. In fact, everything expands as it heats up and contracts as it cools down, except for water. Water shrinks until it's 4°C and once it gets colder then that it expands again. That's why ice can break water bottles when you freeze them.
But that's only a tiny difference, especially in the few milliseconds that matter for this suppressor matter.
Also, the gases in the silencer don't condense...water condenses.
I think it's probably best to just google it and put it ad acta.
Edit to satisfy my own autism: All gases condense... eventually. But for the gases in the suppressor to condense, you'd need temperatures well below -150°C...
I love your content Destin!
Spectacular !
Enjoyed every segment of this post !
Thanks !!
Beautifully relevant video with the Share Act just coming out of committee and possibly going up for a vote soon. Nice job Destin. Coolest video I've gotten to see in a while.

The glass exploding off the suppressor should be an intro to a game like COD or Battlefield
The sound of that suppressor shattering was orgasmic!
We need this video edited into a two-hour ASMR compilation.
Each one of those people could and should go to jail for possession a firearm silencer there isn't enough stupid as holes out there shooting up enough people you wanna add to the hate and destruction you all are sad
Well aren't you a special snowflake. If you listened to the video, you would realise that these guys are fedeally licenced firearms manufacturers authorised to make sound moderators, so that people like me don't go deaf from our sport.
It is only morons who associate silencers with hitmen and organised crime.
Most of us who shoot just don't want to lose our hearing.
cmdrsocks But didn't you know that suppressors make guns quieter than a whisper?!
I hate you.
An excellent video. Real people and genuine kindness. Down to Earth. It puts the viewer at ease. I'll but a suppressor from them.
6:17 that class sound tho
6:17 woahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
Totally shocked !!!!
That was beautiful and cool
Loved this part of video
Okay, I’ve watched the video and I just got extremely excited! What if you used a tesla valve within a suppressor? It would require some engineering ingenuity, but wouldn’t that work? Theoretically?
6:00 while watching this I was thinking I would like to see a suppressor that has tesla valve like qualities. This one (the claws), kinda does. That that means it needs to help a buildup of pressure that other's wouldn't need to be able to withstand I think.
As someone who's studied sound design, I started to comment HOW DID YOU GET THOSE SOUNDS and then you mentioned the sound designer and I was like "duh, of course no microphone would pick that up like that" but it was a cool idea for a second lol and the sounds were 💯💯💯
Even if we had high-speed microphones, most of the high-speed footage wouldn't sound right because the audio would be extremely down-pitched; even if you tried up-pitching back to the real frequency with software, it wouldn't sound right, there would be a lot of artifacts (if I'm not mistaken, it would sound metalic/robotic).
if you cant tell that that slow mo glass breaking sounded like glaciers cracking you should think about studiying something else lol
sorry that was just too inviting and yes im just joking, but yeah, those sound effects are pretty stunnign paired with the visuals
6:12
That is the scariest acoustic sound affect that I have ever heard.
Ahh so surpressors work by trapping the gas which carries the sound. Never really thought about it.
Nicromatic how did you think they worked?
@@relevant3773 magic x3
Alexander Supertramp A longer tube probably amplifies the sound
@Alexander Supertramp a 22 revolver also doesn't have a sealed breach so they let gasses out by the cylinder. It's why you can't suppress revolvers except for the nagant.
Its all about cooling the hot gas to ambient temperature, they could have added some steel wool and some high temp grease, and it would have made it quieter.
Yoooo I love these slow mo especially when that one broke it looked cool !
Uh oh, guns. I'm sure RUclips demonetized this one.
b1gje55e hopefully not guns are normally tv friendly why not youtube friendly
Lex Luthor guns aren't any more dangerous than cars or airplanes, it's a tool capable of being used responsibly. Only dangerous if you're a dumbass.
lesslighter
InRange and Forgottenweapons are intentionally demonetized because his videos got demonetized randomly.
It's trending so probably not
A metal object, with the ability to ignite gunpowder, ejecting a lead projectile that may be used for self defense from either criminal activity, or government corruption is very scary, this video will now be demonetized.
Yours truly - RUclips
Things breaking in slowmo look neat
Especially with explosions.
Destin, I think the reason it failed was not necessarily due to the axial component of the stress alone. It seems to me what happened is that the hoop direction stress stretched the acrylic until you lost enough thread engagement at the aft end for the axial to overcome the shear resistance of the threads due to not as much contact. That would be my guess based on the fact that hoop direction stress in a cylinder under pressure is twice that of the axial stress (pressure x radius/2xthickness for axial vs (pressure x radius/thickness in hoop).
Brian Jackson Daaymn You smert
That makes sense. You could see smoke coming out around the circumference at the aft end as if the cylinder were expanding, and then the thread engagement reached a critical minimum and the axial component took over and shot the cylinder downrange.
Brian Jackson Smart dude you are 👍🏻
You just wasted your time
As 35+ year R&D machinist/fabricator, I've been blessed to work along side some great engineers. I've worked at Primex technologies which was bought out by General Dynamics. We made some awesome medium caliber munitions as well as carpet bombs. We also made the depleted Uranium tank killer ammo.
SmarterEveryDay is basically the slow mo guy.
Nah there’s a channel called the slow mo guys
Suppressors are pretty interesting. Unlike a muffler for a motor where there is an indirect nonconcenteic entrance and exit a suppressor has to cut volume and flash while keeping a concentric entrance and exit. Pretty interesting and definitely something worth trying out fluid dynamics to better map explosive forces and sound waves.
Awesome, impressive images, very interesting to see AND hear what a suppressor actually does. I'd heard silencers/suppressors don't silence a gun as much as they do in movies, but untill now I hadn't seen (/heard) anyone give a taste of what it DOES do, so thank you for that.
movie firearms are complete bullshit in every possible way.
it's possible to get a firearm about as quiet as suppressed ones are in movies if you use subsonic ammunition and depending on your can, but the sound effect will still be different probably.
I've heard one myself, it was so quiet that you heard the gun mechanics over the actual shot O_o
Flyingwigs It's all about the ammo
Flyingwigs what was the caliber? .22?
Hi Destin! I love your channel and all your guests. I know i'm many years too late on this video to be relevant but please let your guests be as excited as you are!
