Sharing my embarrassing screw up today..
Testing a new 223 wylde SBR upper today . Dialing in at 25 yards with open sights..
After getting close with open sights unsuppressed I put my suppressor on and a fresh target. On the first shot my $ 1000.00 suppressor flew off and came to rest next to the 25 yard target...
Surprised and scared to say the least. After spending some time to see if I had all my body parts and looking to my right to see if the guys closest had noticed I looked at the target and there was a hole where I was hoping to see one.
Had to wait till cold range to retrieve my can so i put the other upper on and shot some blackout.
Can was full of mud but otherwise no obvious damage. No sign of baffle strike. Looks like I didnt get proper full engagement.
While Looking for similar stupid mistakes online I found a video of a guy who did it on purpose....
I will say that shooting a 1 lb suppressor could be deadly to whoever is in front at close range.
I don't recommend trying it..
This guy did it on purpose with same can.. His was "stuck" and he heard this was the cure..
