Worlds longest suppressor

Silly but amusing none the less.
Long projectile and tightly spaced baffles allows the projectile to bounce back and forth along the bore and still exit. The shrapnel that came out of the middle when they opened it up is proof of this.
Consider that the bullets turned 90 degrees between the muzzle cap and the target, which was maybe 4 feet away. That is some seriously unstable projectile at that point.

Is it possible when the suppressor was leveled that the bullets weren’t hitting the baffles but were tumbling due to a loss in velocity?
I think not but they became noticeably more visible (on the high speed cam) exiting on the muzzle as the length increased

Matt had clipping when he made a long suppressor with the same style suppressor.
But what would be causing the velocity loss other than baffle hits? The difference between muzzle velocity and velocity at 20ft is very little normally. Plus linear velocity decreases much faster than rotational velocity once a bullet is in flight, and for it to lose stability something would have to reduce that rotational velocity.
Silencers don't reduce muzzle velocity.
I didn't think about being able to see the bullets exit. They would have lost considerable velocity from dragging against and bouncing along the baffles.
