Maybe I'll get an EFAB and do the same thing pre and post tine-ectomy. My guess would be the tines add no function.
I'm calling your first two paragraphs an apple to oranges type of comparison. With regards to testing the EFAB, please do this and post up the results, I'm genuinely curious. I seriously doubt that Precision Armament, Griffin Armament, KAC, and Lantac all build muzzle devices this way just for looks.
