But by redirecting gases more toward the shooter, compensators can also raise the volume for you and your friends at the range. Here at Silencer Shop, we're all about making shooting easier on the ears. We couldn't leave this unsaid: They look awesome.Silencers are durable, but it never hurts to have a compensator act as a sacrificial baffle of sorts. Compensators may offer protection for your silencer.If, however, you’re taking a carbine course this weekend, you’ll print a smaller group on the target during a faster paced fire schedule. If you're a long-range precision shooter, you won’t see much benefit at a slow rate of fire. Compensators allow faster, more accurate follow up shots and generally tighter groupings.This is the primary purpose and benefit of compensators. This makes the cleaningĭesigns, denominations and the enforcement of stupid laws can be a controversial subject and leaves many doors open to arbitrary interpretation but like always the best thing is to define the purpose and then decide what is the best thing for that firearm for that purpose using compliant parts.What are the unique pros and cons of compensators? Let's start with the ample positives.
This is not a bad thing to consider in ny if the brake goes into a NY restricted autoloader that has to be pinned. Single or dual side porting with plenty of aperture and bleeding regardless the porting pattern are probably the most effective.
There are many that are tacticool that are ineffective (only cosmetics) but some that are actually quite effective. If one is to replace the device make sure to buy one with that explicit design and denomination. Others are designed to look like flash hiders but to behave like muzzle brakes and might do a terrible job are both, specially some flash hiders look-alike because they are not designed for that and cannot be sold under that denomination. Some of these considered brakes or compensators actually might reduce flash as well to one degree or another as a side effect but they are not designed for that primary purpose. Some designs look similar but they are designed differently because their main goal is not to reduce flash signature but to redirect the gasses in certain way that either reduces climb or felt recoil or both. Of course NYS has its own ideas on such matters, but as none of them are written down or refined/defined by the court system, it's pretty much just guesswork as to what is or isn't legal regarding threads under a welded device.Īll that hoopla a while back about the shops getting busted, but no big news, or any reports that I'm aware of anyway, regarding how they went to court, got their collective asses kicked, and now are all going to burn in hell for eternity because of the evil they brought forth to the unsuspecting subjects of NYS's big fat puritanical thumb.īird cage flash hider designs like above gives them away easily. The logic is that if the device is permanantly affixed, then the threads are no longer useable as threads, thus the device becomes part of the barrel. Do it long enough and the masses simply believe that everyhting that looks that way is an AK47, so must be restricted harshly)ĪTF accepts welding or permanant pinning as a means of disabling the threads. (look how many people refer to that blanket 'AK47' simply because certain firearms have simular appearance, yet are very definitely NOT AK47's. They didn't define, design, manufacture said items, and are guilty of using the misnomers either through ignorance or deliberate subliminal intent toward another goal. It is a compensator by design and name, just like a receiver extension is not a buffer tube, nor a selector switch a safety lever no matter how many people want to call them otherwise. Whether a casual observer wants to call the A2 variant a flash hider or not is moot. The A1 has slots 360* around it while the A2 has a solid bottom.
The defining difference between an A2 compensator and an A1 flash suppressor? (and no mention of its effect on dust signature in the literature BTW, just its compensating effect) Up to and including giving specific instructions on how the slots should be clocked to get the most effect out of the device. The device found on the M16/A2 is open ended, but very definitely described, defined and named as a compensator in the TM's, FM's, supply system, etc. And just to create more havock and confusion:
