If it hit a middle baffle I would have expected it to go sideways and destroy the rest of the suppressor. We've had some baffle strikes on a few of my department's 5.56 suppressors but it has always been the tail end of the suppressor and just nicked it. This was with 55gr duty ammo (supersonic) in a 1:9 barrel so the best we can figure is bad ammo. It certainly should have been stable.
