Thought this might help... I know most of us might ask question which is which as SB281 check list on evil feature on Muzzle device...

Pls. check manufacturers definition for best description on your muzzle device.

Brakes / Compenstators:
Bullet size inner cavity
Bullet size opening
Small ports / slots

VS.

Flash Suppressors:
Large inner cavity
Large ports / slot openings
Open ended
Tines / Prongs

I disagree.

Have you ever seen the old style muzzle brakes on Barrett rifles?

They do not hold to your description

also, a breaching cap has all the features you list as a Flash supressor, but it is not.

Also, I think any discussion on this particular feature needs to be taken private or not even discussed on thi more easily accessed portions of the board.

Ya... I don't expect the MSP will be able to tell the difference
