Muzzle Brake Or Suppressor? 

What a maroon.

There are ways around it. There are ways.

Thanks dude, also South African. Was torn between either option for my DD recently

It's called wearing ear pro

@@jevinkames No s*** Einstein. Do you have more good advice on your lyre?!

​@@jevinkames Bad solution for hunters. Also, why shouldn't we be able to choose our method of hearing protection?

Well now you've met one! I only use suppressors when night hunting for varmints. Where I hunt the "ranches" are about a thousand acres. During the day you hear gun fire all the time. At night people are trying to sleep. I don't care for the length or the weight as I'm an old guy. With ear protection and a muzzle break for my 7 mag I good. In fact my 7 is such a pleasure to shoot with its break I keep a piece of temperature tape on the barrel so I don't overheat it during long shooting sessions. One thing people refuse to realize is AR's shooting supers are not hearing safe with a suppressor. Bolt guns are borderline but only with smaller cartridges.

Yeah it’s tough to spend that money and then not be able to use it for months afterward while waiting for approval but it’s so worth it.

@@timg7627 Some guys are randomly getting them in a few weeks now with efiling. Avg is still six months I think, but you never know. A few guys on a forum have been under 2 weeks.

Silencer central lets you pay as you wait at 0% financing. Super cool.

@@mfortho They often have some nasty deals too. The guys I've heard about getting them fast are usually getting them through silencershop high-seller LGS, but that's probably coincidence.

First one is hard to wait for. Gets easier after that!

You're not wrong, but being able to handle it for one shot and being able to practice year round for western hunts are not the same thing. When I'm hunting I don't feel the recoil and the report is almost nonexistent. Go out to the desert and repeat the excercise 20-30 times and I feel very differently, I become very aware that I've had several concussions.

No such thing as handling it for one shot, every single shot does irreversible damage

@@jaydunbar7538 are you talking about recoil level or hearing?

@@jaydunbar7538thats why they said recoil not noise

​@@jcarry5214 hearing. Recoil doesn't cause damage.

Pretty sure they’re hard to get here in the states without proper licensing.

@@CajunReaper95 no license, $200 tax stamp that they take their sweet time processing. And anyone over 18 that doesn’t have a criminal record that disqualifies them can buy one.

@@jaydunbar7538 Depending where you live. Some states have made it illegal to even possess a suppressor. That's why getting S.401 Hearing Protection Act through Congress is so important.

I often wondered how bad that was. Is there anything they can get covered in or that doesn’t work?

​@@jcarry5214 i have tried different Covers they give you 3 to 4 Shots more before the Mirage comes trough, for me as a mainly Hunter it is no Problem but like yesterday i was at the Range with my Mauser M12 in 6.5x55SE for Loaddevelopment here in Bavaria we had 2 degree Celsius so near Freezing Point (sry i dont know Fahrenheit from my head 😀 Leadfree Tests) after the 8th Shot Mirage started, after the 15th Shot i had to make a extended Break and let a little electronic Airpump pump cold Air through the Barrel and Supressor cause it was so plurry that i saw 2 Targets and yes i had a thick Cover on it (and no i havent shot fast around one Shot in little under one Minute)

@@lenzadlberger interesting, that’s good information. Wouldn’t have thought of that.

No. If anything it might theoretically cause a tiny tiny increase since it essentially lengthens your barrel.

quieter to you or the game? Rangeview sports has a blast mitigation system. it " shifts " the sound in front of you. support the private members bill for moderators for shooting clubs

Sorry sir but noise causes flinching too, especially when you're using a break without hearing protection.

You aren't gonna be spotting your trace and probably most of your impacts even with a 6.5. No, the recoil isn't unmanageable, but it's enough to move that sight picture out of the scope. I personally believe being able to negate the recoil with muzzle brake and weight, in addition to proper technique, is the best thing possible for a new shooter. Shooting a gun that's balanced and well setup that allows you to focus on your squeeze and follow through makes a huge difference on your progress.

And btw, you'll find a lot of people running muzzle brakes on 223's. It's obviously not because a 223 kicks enough to mess you up, it's because we want to be able to follow through and spot our hits anywhere from 50 yards to 1k yards

A lot of advice coming from someone who doesn’t know the difference between “brake” and “break” 😂
