Mainly referring to muzzle brakes and flash hiders and their use on AR rifles.
Are they necessary in most cases?
Are their technical advantages to them like improved accuracy?
I am aware that muzzle brakes can reduce felt recoil but do you need recoil reduction on a 6.5 Grendel?
Do they just complete the look?
Since AR rifles usually have a threaded barrel you might as well use it?
I find myself wanting to take the muzzle devices off of my rifles more and more lately. I’m looking into a 45 Raptor build and as I research the topic of which muzzle device to use comes up. It seems 45 Raptor barrels are on 3/4” threads which is somewhat obscure so there are not a ton of options. Dialog about the 45 Raptor will say something like “This is a potent round so a good brake will be necessary”...
I’ve shot a .460 S&W Encore and it was stout but did not need a brake. 45 Raptor is in a gas operated semi auto so it should be even milder whether there is a brake involved or not. Either way I find myself going with no brake and just a thread protector mainly for noise reasons
