It couldn’t damage the barrel, could it? Just shoots the muzzle brake off right? Hmm, maybe in a hand held pistol it yanks the pistol out of your hand? That’d be funny to see someone’s pistol flying down the shooting range.
The result is similar to what's described as *baffle strike* in a suppressed handgun, when a bullet touches the edge of an interior baffle before exiting the suppressor's muzzle/wipe. Instant internal keyholing is not guaranteed with every shot, but remains a high probability.

Or through/out the side of it. Sometimes at a near-90º angle, not necessarily to the side. Wear safety-toed shoes!

It's less funny if the strike causes damage/burrs that further damage and deflect following rounds. More funny when the muzzle attachment flies downrange in a M203 round-like trajectory.
