A Technical Problem


***Minor Spoiler***

The scene in the sauna when the main character uses a revolver with a silencer (more accurately called a sound suppressor) to kill a man seems to be a 'goof'.

"THE SILENCED REVOLVER If you're dumb enough to put a silencer on a revolver then you'll discover that all the noise you hoped to suppress will escape from around the cylinder. A revolver is not sealed. There's a gap between the cylinder and the barrel where they meet. This gap allows the cylinder to turn. It also allows gas and noise to escape."

What scene in the sauna?

The revolver-silencer bit has been used in a lot of movies and TV shows. You'd think a movie special effects person would consult an armorer when making films involving weaponry.
