Just made an account to make a quick note, in hopes that this'll be corrected. Under the "Violation of Common Sense" trope, a troper noted that Claire's SMG does a little more damage when it has a suppressor equipped. This was followed by a claim that IRL suppressors work by slowing down the round to prevent it from breaking the sound barrier. This isn't true at all- in reality, suppressors simply trap and cool the resulting combustion gases and cause a more gradual change in air pressure, and will actually increase the velocity of projectiles fired through them slightly, since it acts a bit like a barrel extension. Any decrease in velocity found in suppressed munitions is the result of the round itself (heavier bullet, smaller gunpowder loads, etc.) rather than the suppressor.

Yeah I believe I wrote that under influence of Monster energy and sleep deprivation. You could edit that out if you'd like. For some reason the TV Tropes editor isn't working for me so I couldn't do it on my end.
It's obvious to everyone (apart from a couple of brainless trolls) that there are some pretty big inconsistencies/plotholes caused by the reimagining of R E2make's story from RE 2. Right now, these are divided into Continuity Snarl and Adaptation-Induced Plot Hole. But are these the right tropes to be using? Is there even a need to separate the examples between them? I ask because somebody actually erased the R E2make's entries from the AIPH page, arguing that they felt more like general plot holes than adaptation-induced ones.
