With a brake, recoil is most efficiently mitigated and is over very quickly. Suppressed being a slow dwell while a brake (or unbraked, bare muzzle) is a sharp/rapid impulse. Of course, the recoil impulse is different between the two. I didn't realize how much I would enjoy it until I shot the 2018 quiet riot match, which is 100% suppressed. Is impact visibility and recoil management more important that concussion avoidance and good range-manners?Īs someone that has shot mostly with a muzzle brake, I readily welcome the thought of shooting fully suppressed. Has anyone else gone gone through this conundrum and willing to share your thoughts? Need to make this decision in time to solidify and lock in my zero, and have good ballistics/velocity information. and feeling like I should pull the ASR suppressor brake off my primary distance rifle (Masterpiece Arms 300-WMBA), skip the can, and get good with a good muzzle brake instead of using a can at this event. I'm traveling to a long range class in April to shoot out to (hopefully) 2,000 yards. That said, the guy at the bench next to me certainly gave me a few nasty looks since the side concussion was, um, impressive. But I decided to mount a Gen-3 Little Bastard muzzle brake on a new rifle (Tikka 6.5-CM), and I have to admit that the ability to see my impacts and get back on target, improved by orders of magnitude. I've sort of "defaulted" to using a suppressor, as it seemed the easier and more civilized choice for noise and concussion. I'm just getting into the really long distances, and I'm struggling with this one.
