Default Shroud purpose?
Seeing a lot of shroud options. Other than looks, is there any advantages in using one? 6" better than a 4"? Please share your knowledge. Thanks.

The shrouds are just for looks, so length is a personal opinion.

For some, 6" isn't enough.

Mostly looks... I personally think it may play in on the harmonics of the barrel... which could improve accuracy... but who knows just my thoughts.

Yep, my gun always shoots better when it is in tune.

As said above, just looks. I went with the 6" for that "MP5-SD" look

They also help if you've exhausted all of your magazines and wish to turn it around and use it as a club. You won't burn your hands bashing in zombie skulls. :-)
