I did the same thing shooting subs out of a .223 except I shot a full power load afterward and it was obvious what happened as the crack and bulge blew out in front of the gas block. Luckily my suppressor and I weren't damaged.
I had it cut to 10.5" and it worked fine as a shorty, but my overconfidence cost me a great shooting barrel.
It sucks, but subsonic shooting has this as a risk. If you don't see the impact, take the time to dismantle the upper and check the barrel. It is an expensive mistake and it only takes a minute to check. Also, give it a few seconds before cracking it open as hangfires can cause just as much damage if opened prematurely!
I learned the hard way too!
