My question is WHY does the puny poodle shooter called the .223/5.56 need a muzzlebrake? Are we really that wimpy that we need to dampen the minimal recoil it generates?
I had my local 'smith cut the brake off my stag 6.8 for the reason the OP sighted. Damn loud and I want to use it for hunting.
In competition- speed matters and hundredths of a second (1/100ths) is the difference between winning and losing.
In real life- speed matters and hundredths of a second (1/100ths) is the difference between winning and losing. Because I want to see what is happening through my optic. A good brake keeps my sights shimmering in a head size target at 100 yards. If I want it to be "quieter" I'll mount a suppressor.
