Normally I shoot my 6.5 Grendels at my home range, normally nobody is sitting/standing next to me to catch the blast and concussion shock from the Sabre Defense "Gill" brake that is on the front of the gun.
But this past weekend at the NWI INGO shoot in Winimac I got to see the effects of the Gill brake I currently have on my 18" grendel and its just plain rude. Now don't get me wrong, the brake is effective. As the shooter I get some blow back but the guys next to me are going deaf and are still spitting the dirt and debris out of their teeth.
The gun in question:
The offending and offensive, but still effective Saber Defense "Gill" Brake:
I never realized how bad it was until I was standing behind the shooting line watching other people shoot this gun. Pull the trigger and papers and spent shell casings on the shooting bench would go flying. There is just so much gas directed back to each side that anyone on either side of the gun, even several feet back/away, just gets blasted.
I'm thinking of the WCI brake. Any thoughts?
Review => WCI Muzzle Brake Soldier Systems
Despite the radial porting system, the reviews I've found seem to indicate that it does not blast dirt/sand/debris all over the shooting area.
Any other thoughts? I'm not looking at flash hiders, only true muzzle brakes.
