How many rounds can be fired continuously through a 5.56mm sound suppressor?

Unlike the video from a bit back, the suppressor in this case outlasts the 249’s barrel:

The Silencerco people had a better loader, but Oleg has a cuter gunner.

Just watching the vid it’s not clear what they’re testing, the LMG or the suppressor. After the barrel change there was no suppressor attached, so why continue burning ammo if that was a suppressor test?

It also was not entirely clear that the suppressor “outlasted” the barrel. It says that a barrel change was needed at 700 rounds; not that the barrel had failed.

Apparently, the 249 gets pretty hot to the trigger hand.

That poor, poor M249 did nothing to deserve that.

What a waste of of ammo, a barrel, and a suppressor.

700 rounds. That’s about the same number it took before IV8888’s ‘full auto AK mag-dump’ vid experienced a malfunction.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
