This video demonstrates a highly unsafe stress test of the Misfit-22 Inconel rimfire suppressor by firing 5.56 NATO rounds through it. While the suppressor survived multiple magazine dumps, the instructor explicitly warns against replicating this test, stating the can is not rated for 5.56 machine guns or AR-15 platforms. It suggests potential suitability for a .223 bolt-action rifle.

Quick Summary

The Misfit-22 Inconel rimfire suppressor was subjected to a dangerous stress test firing 5.56 NATO rounds. While it survived multiple magazines, the instructor explicitly warns this is unsafe and the suppressor is not rated for 5.56 machine guns or AR-15s, suggesting potential use only on a .223 bolt-action rifle.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Misfit-22 suppressor made of and what is its intended purpose?

The Misfit-22 is an Inconel rimfire suppressor. Inconel is a high-performance nickel-chromium alloy known for its strength and heat resistance. It is designed for rimfire calibers, not for higher-pressure centerfire rounds like 5.56 NATO.

Is it safe to shoot 5.56 NATO through a rimfire suppressor like the Misfit-22?

Absolutely not. Firing 5.56 NATO through a rimfire suppressor is extremely dangerous and not recommended. The Misfit-22 is not rated for this caliber or for AR-15 platforms, and doing so can lead to catastrophic failure and severe injury.

What were the results of the Misfit-22 suppressor stress test with 5.56 NATO rounds?

During the stress test, the Misfit-22 suppressor was fired with multiple magazines of 5.56 NATO. While the presenter was surprised it survived, the suppressor eventually failed. The presenter suggested it might be suitable for a .223 bolt-action rifle but not for AR-15s.

What are the risks associated with using a suppressor beyond its rated specifications?

Using a suppressor beyond its rated specifications, such as firing a higher-pressure caliber through a rimfire can, can lead to over-pressurization. This can cause the suppressor to fail catastrophically, potentially damaging the firearm, causing injury to the shooter or bystanders, and creating a dangerous situation.
