Fudd Lore Test: Can Rifle Fire Clean a Sealed Suppressor?
This video tests the 'fudd lore' myth that firing high-powered rifle rounds can clean a sealed suppressor. Using a Rugged Obsidian 9 and an AR-15, the host meticulously weighed suppressor baffles before and after firing 20 rounds of .223 ammunition. The experiment revealed minor weight fluctuations, with most baffles gaining slight mass due to a 'dusting' of fresh carbon, rather than significant removal of hardened deposits. The host concludes the potential for suppressor damage, especially when using ammunition beyond its rating, outweighs any negligible cleaning benefit, and does not recommend this method.
