I did a quick "test" the other week with a .223, a couple of brakes & a suppressor.
The brakes were obviously much louder, but recoil & sight picture loss was significantly reduced with a brake.
I was surprised by how much, given it was "only" a .223 AR
-
You have the reciprocating mass of the BCG and buffer which adds to the felt recoil quite substantially. A good compensator really helps keep the gun stable but of course there's the tradeoff of being fucking awful to be around
-
I use a brake on my 3 gun rifle. I wouldnt use one without it for that type of shooting. Its everybody elses ears that suffer, not so much the shooters.
-
I'm using one of the new NEA brakes, works well.
-
I've got JP, STI, and some I got made up in the US
All much of a muchness
Top ports is a must
One of them is tuned for a right hander with different sized ports on left and right in top

Saw an AR with 1 of these, it seemed much better than my suppressor.
Will try it out next time at the range (eh Muzr ;) ) and see if I need it.
-
18 rounds on the v drill in 7.3 seconds was good enough for me, including a cock up!
-
Seeing it in action made me want one more. :ORLY:

Hi all,
I'm new to this forum and I'm looking to own an AR. What type of AR is legal to own under Cat-A permit? I'm originally from Australia (lived in the United States and Hong Kong for the past 5 years) and I don't really have any close referee in NZ, is it difficult to obtain a B endorsement in that case? I can however, afford having extra security to comply with B endorsement requirement and have no problem joining a recognised club or organisation. Cheers for any advice in advance.

Welcome aboard Vulcan. As I understand it, things are set to change around A category AR15's with the final interpretation not yet fully understood. If you are talking about wanting an E category AR15 as well as the B category license (for pistol ownership) then I would suggest you speak with the Arms Officer at you local Police station. Perhaps joining a 3gun club might be your best avenue to advance.
-
I meant E endorsement... sorry I'm still getting used to things around. I'm really more keen to know what are the exact features on an AR makes it qualify as a Cat-A firearm.
-
E cat features currently are, bayonet lug, flash hider (thats a can of worms but we will just say the standard issue or birdcage type), magazine capacity of more than 7 rounds and/or also appears to hold more than 7 rounds (another can of worms), as issued pistol grip like the A2 type.
Steer clear of any of the above and you will be good to go as A cat.
-
...plus collapseable stock. Also the 7 round mags can have the appearance of holding upto 10 rounds under the new amendment and is being enforced as such now.
-
Collapsable stock, i knew i had forgot something.
-
Only A2 style pistol grip is regulated or any kind of pistol grip? Because it won't be so much of an issue to me since I would probably use a magpul MIAD grip or a tango down grip anyway. Without collapsible stock is a huge drawback however, I would definitely use one if I could, but I can still make do with the new magpul carbine fixie.
