If the silencer is kept wet, then it should not exceed 212 F. Wet it down every few mags and it stays cool. It also collects much more gunk and spits back into the face of the shooter. A combination of high temp gases and water will also corrode aluminum and mild steel faster.

I no longer shoot any silencers wet.
