This video from Polenar Tactical compares conventional and flow-through suppressor designs. Conventional suppressors trap gas using baffles, reducing sound but increasing back pressure. Flow-through suppressors, like the Silent Steel model, redirect gas through a longer path to cool and reduce velocity, minimizing back pressure. This is particularly beneficial for direct impingement AR-15 platforms, reducing gas blowback into the shooter's face.
