    I’m thinking that an equal mass of silver would take up less space in the lungs, creating a vacuum with a 4 liter volume, and the sudden inrush of air to fill the remaining space would destroy all their soft tissue.

      I am picturing a non-instanteous transmutation, as seen in Harry Potter etc… (DnD would also count spells like “true polymorph” having a casting time of 1 action (~6second).) Not a barotrauma specialist, so can’t comment on instantaneous case.
