Thread: Is the A2 muzzle device a flash hider or muzzle brake?

Calm down man, no need to get mad. I won't, never have. It was a hypothetical, for the purpose of debate.

If you read my initial post, you'd recognise that I made this enquiry as I've been seeing "A2 muzzle brakes" being sold on TM, so is it so unreasonable to question whether or not they are a legal device to have on an A-category firearm?

Are you a fudd or something? You could make that same argument for any firearm or accessory, but guess what, we live in a society where we have the privilege and freedom to do what we like within legal parameters. Simply because you don't see any 'need' for a particular item, doesn't make it unreasonable for someone else to use that item (e.g. muzzle brake), nor does it give you justification to make that decision for someone else.

There are plenty of uses for compensators, for competitive shooting, target shooting, 3-gun, and 'because I can'.

For example, I don't NEED a bolt action hunting rifle, nor do I use one (I don't hunt, I target shoot), but I'm not going to tell you that you don't need one.

Not interested in your personal feelings surrounding muzzle devices, this thread was addressing whether or not A2's are a FH or compensator, thanks very much.

P.S. You can't fire fully automatic firearms under private ownership on a C endorsement.
