This theory is unfounded. There's no such thing as the foam "absorbing" power... it's not like the round has to punch through the foam.

When the round leaves the muzzle of the inner barrel, it has already reached terminal velocity. There is no additional compression at that point. Any "loss" in power between the muzzle of the inner barrel and the muzzle of the suppressor is exactly what would normally be experienced in deceleration from that distance, regardless of whether there were a suppressor attached or not.
