    Going backwards over barrel causes the heat issue above as mentioned. Also the hot gasses will now run over your barrel and the debris will start eating your barrel outer.

    On PCP's its only clean air running over barrel backwards. And the air comes out of a diving Cylinder. Which means it went through filters to remove moisture for divers. Which will not then cause moisture inside shroud that will cause rust.
    Do I understand your post correctly? It infers that a reflex suppressor allows gasses to vent backwards over the barrel?

    If so that's not how a reflex suppressor works, but I'm fairly sure that's not what you meant.

    Not the reflex. The Shrouded barrel design as used by PCP rifles.

    Always will. The hotter the barrel, the more inaccurate the rifle (generally speaking).

    For a range gun, I'll never do it. For a bush hunting rifle, it's great.

    The bigger issue is groups opening up significantly. They may or may not still be centered around the original POI, but that counts for nothing if the bullets are hitting all around the target. This is cause by the heat distorting the barrel, but more importantly the heat waves rising from the barrel and supressor distorting your line of sight.
