This is recap from our Video – Episode 3 Muzzle Devices (Part 1).
Recently we have tested first 6 AK muzzle devices in order to find the best one. Our non scientific test is based on 3 main events: so called “dark room test” to measure flash hiding capabilities; side pressure wave test to measure impact on operators in close proximity to the muzzle device and finally muzzle climb test, which was very subjective test based on quick shooting of 3 rounds on target. We have also collected all the data, like physical measurements, weight and prices to give you better whole picture of the subject. Below is our first Top 6 list. The winner of this competition will be put against another 5 muzzle devices in our future episodes.
