| What is the differance between a flash suppressor, a muzzle brake and a compensator |
|
Flash supressor's just there to eliminate some muzzle flash. Compensator, such as on a M16A2, etc. is just a flash supressor with the bottom hole not there, this redirects gases upward, in an attempt to minimize muzzle climb. Muzzle brake is a device that redirects gases in such away that "pulls" the weapon forward, in a way.....in an effort to reduce felt recoil. It sorta "catches" those gases. |
