Smarter Everyday puts out some awesome videos, but this time, he's outdone himself. Soteria Suppressors built a few different suppressors with an acrylic case and they were filmed in slow motion by Smarter Everyday. The results are very interesting


Watching the flame propagation and the gas flow is fascinating
 
What's really interesting is the suppressor being shot at 3:39. You can see that it has two different styles of chambers and the second works to extinguish the flames inside the can. What causes the flames is the hot gasses mixing with oxygen and reigniting. This mixing and igniting is what causes muzzle flash. Flash hiders work by dispersing, cooling and slowing the mixing of the gasses with the air outside the bore as the gasses exit. I wonder if this extinguishing action works to eliminate first round pop
