This interaction is greatly reduced when a flash hider is present as opposed to an effective brake.
With the MAMS, the tines were a way to have a flash reducing (ignition dispersal) effect along with braking ability. It also looks cool, which is not a minor factor, haha.
Hah! Thanks, I think I am the only modcast participant that collected actual complaints due to on-air imbibement. Had I known it was going to be a 3-hour event I would have significantly altered my early intake.
