It was pure chance that I wasn't running bursts through the gun, which would have complicated things considerably and probably ruined the barrel on a Transferrable gun and surely would have damaged the suppressor.
The louder report of all the gasses coming back through the ejection port was my only warning.

Last April during an instructor training I was shown pictures of a police MP, barrel was cut in half for investigation, 6 bullets stuck in it!!
The barrel bulged at the end, but nobody was hurt.
