Flash can also blind the shooter in low light situations. It's not necessarily about being seen, but being able to see after the shot.
Brakes are not needed on a 223 as with good technique the recoil is quite manageable. They do offer and advantage and little to no hindrance. It's nice to have the muzzle pretty much stay on target and all you're worried about is trigger reset when shooting fast.
So do you make a different F2 depending on if the shooter is a lefty or rightyOr just buy an F2...no need to drill
I've been giving Benny a hard time about that for years
You NEED a brake on a 5.56?
THIS!Depends how you're using it. I can state for a fact that I can recover and make another hit considerably faster with a good brake on my AR than without. Do some more tuning - gas system, buffer spring and buffer weight - and the effect can be pretty dramatic. I notice it most shooting arrays of steel at around 100 yards. I'm usually swinging over to the next target about the time my shot hits. Just got to be comfortable calling your hits...
