Destin from YouTube channel Smarter Every Day and Steve from Soteria, a company that makes firearms and suppressors, recently teamed up to create and test a series of see-through suppressors with cast acrylic casings, which feature a strength of 8,000 PSI. Not all of their test runs were successful, but even the failures were beautiful.
