Subreddit Rules OTOH, if you at building an AR with the intention of using it as a defensive firearm, than I strongly suggest the A2 muzzle device.Welcome to /r/AR15! Here for your favorite black gun links, build photos, questions and other tactical or practical info. If you are building an AR for the sole purpose of using it in games, then by all means buy the muzzle device which best suits your particular game. Since the 5.56/.223 recoil is minimal, I see no need for their use. Most muzzle brakes, which IMHO have no useful place on a long-barreled AR, enhance muzzle flash, noise, and muzzle blast. Yes, there are better devices when considering the separate aspects of flash reduction, reduction of dust signature, and reduction of muzzle rise, but none of them outdoes the A2, all things combined, and none beat the very inexpensive price of the A2. This has been demonstrated in side-by-side tests. Personally, I use an A2 style flash hider on all my ARs, as it does a very good job of reducing muzzle flash, and the closed bottom reduces dust signature when firing prone, and also serves to reduce muzzle rise in rapid fire. I'm not sure why any non-disabled adult would feel the need for a muzzle brake on a. It's an excellent compromise, all things considered. At this time, and IMHO, the A2 muzzle device gives very good fash suppression, with a decent amount pf muzzle compensation and attendant reduction in muzzle rise. Unfortunately, the laws of Physics say that you can't have all three at the same time. Most Night Vision Devices' performance will be degraded, to some degree, by muzzle flash. This can be of significant importance on a 2-way firing range, or even if the user wants to retain his/her night vision while hunting at dusk. Usually does nothing or very little with respect to perceived recoil.Ī Flash Suppressor reduces the flash signature at the muzzle. Often increases muzzle blast/noise, and does nothing to reduce muzzle flash. Often employed on hand-held firearms used in rapid semi-auto fire or full-auto fire. Almost always makes more noise, usually increases muzzle blast and flash signature.Ī muzzle Compensator uses the exhaust gases to reduce muzzle deflection during rapid fire. Let's make sure we are using the correct terminology, and that we also understand that different muzzle devices do.Ī muzzle Brake reduces recoil by diverting exhaust gasses. The same folks did a part 2, and the same muzzle brake still was the best. Why buy the cheapest, when the best is not expensive? Muzzle Brake test.
