Can someone explain the difference between a Compensator, muzzle brake and a flash hidder? h.gif thanks, Joe |
|
In a nutshell: Compensator - helps reduce muzzle-flip (vertical movement) Muzzle brake - helps reduce recoil (rearward movement) Flash hider - Reduces visual signature (muzzle blast) There are also plenty of hybrid devices out there that combine characteristics of all three. Flash hider/compensators are very common. |
