And I hate the sound loudener contraption on the muzzle.
Is the "recoil" of a .223 really so overwhelming?
Talk about "compensator." Anybody shooting .223 who thinks everybody on the firing line needs to have their fillings rattled by that contrived amplifier must be compensating for something.
I was shooting prone at a range recently where the match director allowed a shooter to compete with one of those things on his muzzle. Not only did the side-blast slap shooters in the face on both sides with each shot, the darn thing even lifted bits of gravel and sandblasted the shooters on both sides during the prone phase.
Next time, I'm calling a safety violation on one of those things.
If you are so proud that it was "designed for a suppressor," then put the darn suppressor on it, and quit trying to blind everybody on either side of you!
