Just to name two that stick in my mind, I remember seeing an EOD guy in Baghdad in '07 rocking an 11.5" (+- an inch) rifle with a JP recoil eliminator and a guy on my team, 11B, this past deployment that had a BattleComp on his M4. The one thing I did notice about the BattleComp is that it made the rifle report sound deeper in pitch. As to reliability, he was at the range almost every week for all 5 months and probably shot on average of 400 rounds thru it per trip, I know there were times when he would take his SureFire mag and do mag dumps all morning long, we had an insane amount of ammo to use up, truly wasteful, but we did get a lot of good training in as well. I think we were in the quietest part of Afghanistan lol.
