There is something I'm wondering about: do suppressors degrade quickly when you fire with them, or is it just a myth?

Some suppressors use rubber "wipes" that wear out after a few uses. Metal cans using baffle chambers don't physically contact the bullet unless things go wrong, so the only wear is pressure stress. They last a long time. Those that are easier to disassemble, clean, and generally maintain will last longer if properly cared for, of course.
I asked a pro and he said yes they do wear put but definitely not quickly. Depends on the material though.
