Support grip

I consider it open-handed crush

It doesn't explicitly fit either category since it is an overcoming isometric that turns into a yielding isometric as fatigue sets in. It's closest to a support grip since the motion is almost zero, unlike crush which involves a movement.

You still have to both set the gripper and then crush it a bit into position...I've done it with an average CoC 4, it's definitely not as easy to do as support grip where you just grab something and start the movement. Even if you just did a long hold on a normal gripper you still have to crush to get to that position

If nothing moved at all like on a hand dyno then sure I would call that support grip...but the silver bullet movement still has active crushing in it

Setting a gripper is not part of the silver bullet, that is also the easiest portion since grippers all get more difficult the more they move, the silver bullet position must be harder than the set. Every pdu can silver bullet a harder gripper than they can close, that is normal and what allows silver bullet to be an endurance exercise instead of a max strength exercise. Once the silver bullet is in position and held there can be no movement, it is isometric and a closed hand support at this point.
