Quick Tip: What's the Right Muzzle Device for Your Gun?

Unless you're running in a competition, where fractions of seconds count and you're a top level competitor... You don't need a muzzle brake for 5.56 rifles. Tune your AR and get a heavier weight buffer. Muzzle brakes are loud and annoying.

Have a Tavor 7 on the way and heard it has lots of concussions with the standard muzzle device. Any recommendations others than a suppressor

Godamn, between the two of you I bet you can hear colors.

I bought a 300 blackout upper and it came with a tanker barrel device. I know nothing about the tanker device. What is the benefit to it?

I have a Ruger American in 22-250..What I am experiencing is because these Ruger American are so light in weight and with the heavier bullet like 55gr or 60gr it kick is a little more than wanted...The noise would be no problem 😊

Thanks for sharing. 👍👍

I'm one of THOSE people, who wasn't sure about ever needing a rifle AT ALL until a few years back. First the opportunistic rioters, then the violent insurrectionists, then the State government intent on violating the Constitution, then the ongoing insurrection not being promptly investigated/prosecuted, then sprinkle in a little more rioting, and more Congressional malfeasance. Now we face the earnestly renewed threat of WWIII. "Good times." 🙄
Aaaaaaanyway, I've been learning the way of the gun (and the way of the rifle). I'm fine with the A2 which was standard on the DSA ZM4 (which was just about the only decent thing I could find to purchase during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, during which it seemed BCM & Daniel Defense had discontinued production altogether). The A2 is entirely adequate for general purposes.

I mounted a Flo-Master muffler on the front end of my AR-15. People who hear it just think its a passing Mustang.

What is a less than permanent (i.e., Rocksett) way to attach a muzzle break for someone not suppressing?

My favorite now is the Smith Enterprises Vortex. It has the greatest flash suppression and is used by SOCOM operators on their rifles. Next best for flash suppression and close on its heels is the lowly A2 and lowly A1. The downside of the Vortex is its exposed tines to which the military added a ring on the M16A1 to prevent snagging on gear and foliage. I don't worry about that. In addition, the Vortex screws on by hand, without a crush washer, and is firmly hand tightened. It's self-tightening with its spiral tines. Removing one after the barrel has had 500 - 1000 rounds through it requires a wrench and an action rod. That's how much it gets tightened onto the barrel with use.

once again Silencer = Awesome. Save up and get one device that is quietest, no flash, low recoil and in my opinion the best looking.

I added a Fortis RED muzzle brake on my AR 15 recently. I am amazed how much it has improved accuracy for me. I am shooting buttonholes consistently now.

suppressor vs flash hider
who is better at reducing flash?

Alright from right to left, nahh.. left to right.

Question: if your rifle already comes with the typical flash hider , do you need to upgrade it or change it .. if it’s shooting ok already

Is barrel length a factor using a muzzle break. Let’s say a 10.5 inch barrel versus a 7.5.

I have a S&M 300 Whisper that I would like to get a flash hider for which one would yall recommend to get as much flash suppression as I can. Which one would y’all recommend?

Hi I have a Daniel Defense AR10 (DDM5v4 with an 18” barrel) what is the best muzzle break for that system? Its equipped with a 3.5x TA11E ACOG scope.

But what if you love being “flashed”

This guy on the right hair is spot on point lol I bet he wakes up in the morning hair still perfect 😅

Do you think these guys suck each-other’s dicks?

Good explaination

Anyone ever use the wire cutting notches on that Yankee Hill??

Great video! Anyone know the devices they had on the table?

the correct muzzle device is a suppressor.

I got the 4" zombie slayer because needed the length and could tell by description it was at least 3.5 length. Keep in mind some of that length is threading.

Is it with it on a 9mm PCC?

the old man always looks pissed off

I have brakes on my .223, .243, 6.5 and .308. They are very effective.

I cant find this combo anywhere, but does anyone have experience with a phase 5 Fatman hexbrake on a Tavor 7 .308?

I was searching for a muzzle brake for my ancient FN Herstal Mauser, which I have placed into an Archangel stock.
I watched your muzzle brake recoil test where the recoil was reduced from 30", down to 12". That sold me along with your company's stand on backing up your products. Thank you for your integrity in a market that reeks of pretenders.

Smith Enterprise Vortex flash hider!!!

None.

This is all very interesting this is as different as the machinist who is making the compensator!

EXCELLENT INFO.

Don't forget that with a muzzle brake, if you're shooting in lanes or at an organized range, the guys next to you won't like you. The brake redirects the sound and gas pressure to the shooter's rear and left and right sides, so the guys in the lanes next to you get the full Monty from that.

Things and Times are "a changing"!
Today, I like to carry my auto with me in my Car when I drive (especially distances).
Now Car-Jackings are up and they will continue to Climb so the Noise decible level in an enclosed car from a 9mm report us something to be considered and IF possible Mitigated.
Something LEAGLE so no Supressors but something that ''could" help a bit.

Why did you ignore a discussion of the two with all the holes drilled (my left to right #'s 2 and 3)?

If you are an introvert, put a three chamber muzzle break on a short barrel .308 win: you’ll be the least popular person in the range in no time.

Flash hider

Hello friends, does anyone know the size of the screw and the flash of the Clashinkoff? Thank you for your help

Built a .350 legend AR-15 for my 10 yr old to hunt with this youth season. With her firing one round last weekend...I am convinced that I should put a muzzle-break to reduce the recoil. Can you please recommend one? I am new at these AR builds and youth season is rapidly approaching, so I want to get the right one and get it on asap so we can practice. Thanks for the good video!

IMO, compensators are the way to go for the average shooter. You get advantages of the other 2 types, and IMO most importantly, reducing muzzle climb which could be life or death in a home-defense situation. So slightly-reduced flash and recoil, and greatly reduced climb. It's the best *bang* for your buck for the average shooter.

Well you said to leave a comment here and you could help so here goes. I live in a Dictatorship State that prohibits flash hiders on the A/R rifle. These are listed as attributes of an assault weapon. Please advise me what I can replace my standard Colt A/R flash suppressor with. I just want to use my A/R for competition purposes.Sad in NY State.

As I understand it, an important feature of flash hiders is that they divert the flash away from the firer's eyes so he doesn't lost his night vision. This was particularly the case for the early conical flash hiders. It's a more modern thing to imagine flash hiders stop the discharge being seen by bystanders. Sound moderators, on the other hand, can completely eliminate flash even if they don't do much for the actual sound.
