Is it a better comp than them? Maybe, if so not much. IT does not mitigate flash more than a battlecomp or dynacomp from the side by side tests I have seen. IT also has some minor nods at heat sinking in the design. It uses sort of the opposite of a velocity stack as as the striking face for the baffle, diffuses the gas through long slots, and directs the gas in an upward and outward V pattern outside of the operators line of sight. A number of comps do make a nod to varying light conditions and at least try to jet the gasses out of the shooters line of sight. It both redirects gas, and diffuses gas, making the muzzle blast less flashy, but still WAY brighter than say a vortex flash suppressor. Then you have things like the battlecomp, which is nothing but a high pressure chamber with a whole bunch of little jets. They don't care about keeping the gas out of your line of sight and any diffusing of the gas is coincidental. A comp like the JP tank brake, or the titan compensator are VERY effective and designed for shooting games in daylight conditions. YOu do this by either trapping the gas ina high pressure chamber with holes acting as jets, or you let the muzzle gas strike a baffle to redirect it. Those gasses have to go someplace relatively quickly over a very short period of time and you more or less want to turn the maximum amount of energy into motion in a favorable direction. A well desinged version will do the preceding while directing hte gas out of the line of sight of a shooter operating the gun.Ī comp when you get down to it uses the redirection of gasses to control muzzle movement. 3) The muzzle device acts as a tuning fork to turn some of the gas's energy into sound. 2) the suppressor maximises the surface area of the device exposed to the gas and is thermally tied to the mass of the whole rifle so that it acts as a heat sink to cool the gas. 1) they diffuse the gas exposing more surface area of gas to the ambient air to cool it quicker. A flash suppressor works by doing three (or less, not all are really good designs) things to the gas that all boil down to taking energy out of it. Referring to smart designs of both and not a piece of crap engineering. SOme might argue otherwise, but it is my opinion that although logically it either has one or the other at any given moment, the prosecutor will not care.Īn actual compensator cannot mitigate flash as much as a dedicated flash suppressor can. yes it has to be pinned otherwise you add a threaded barrel to the list of evil features. Ok.so it was TWO stupid questions, lololįirst he easy answer. I copy/pasted that from the site.so.is it part of the normal function for a break to help control flash? or is that something only some like this do?Īlso, i noted that a flash suppressor is said to be legal on a rifle such as the mini14.does it still have to be pinned/welded? It was designed for tactical applications to reduce muzzle rise, flash signature, noise, and lateral pressure. This Compensator was not designed as a gamers comp. one thing he says.and it's on their website too. they keep running a commercial with the guy from tactv talking about the bravo company gunfighter muzzle break. I watch the gun shows on monday nights on sports channel(crapcast 1631). probably stupid, 's gonna ask a stupid one, so it may as well be me.
