in their own words: "our tactical compensator equipped with our new qd blast shield. this device works amazingly well to reduce concussion for nearby team members and the end user. happy to be launching this soon" |

So, it's an uncompensater?

If it actually does what they say it would be pretty cool.

If it works with standard muzzle devices, that's pretty sweet!

That is a great idea. I use my AR rifles for deer hunting and I typically take the brake off before going out to the hunting blind. Also when I go to ranges with cover and will be shooting around women and kids on the line I try not to have a brake on.

It's leaning toward a thought of mine regarding flash suppression and muzzle braking. Quoted:

Wonder how well this device would take to some slight modification? Turn it into a brake? Mounted on a flash hider; a two-piece flash hider/brake. Generally, the combination devices are at best a compromise. Say that you have two separate devices that are dedicated to each singular function but can be use as a whole unit...possible merit? |

Call me selfish, but I don't worry about the hearing of the ones around me. They should be wearing quality hearing protection.

I don't have that one, but I have one that fits my Yankee Hill suppressor mount that is also a compensated flash/report loudener....
It works as advertised and I no longer give folks around me a nose bleed every time I touch off rounds in my SBR |

If you need this to operate operationally then you just need a legitimate suppressor.

I think that this is more of a be kind to neighbors device while on the shooting bench. I have an armalite rifle that I bought during the ban years. The muzzle break on it will blow stuff off a neighbors bench when shooting.

Agreed I own high end electronic headsets and occasionally wear double ears. You're still a dick if you light off your 7.5" 556 with a brake under cover next to me.The concussion can still be incredibly damaging to a bystander even with ear pro. The ear canal is not the only way damaging noses are introduced to the body and ear drums.

Much happier now with standard birdcage. |

I suddenly noticed an A2 FH sliding over my right shoulder, about 6 inches from my eye. I told the officer to get that away from me or I'd dick punch him. We used to have a Deputy that had a compensator, laying next to him on the firing line was not fun. |

I could have used one of those yesterday. I took my 5.56mm 10.5" w/ A2 FH to an indoor range yesterday and fired 180 rounds. I was wearing foam plugs + a quality headset. With the metal building indoor range (no sound deadening material anywhere), it was like being next to grenades exploding. When I got home, I thought I had a brain concussion. I am serious. I'll never shoot a 5.56mm SBR at this indoor range again.
