    Is it me or does the brakeout 2 look exactly the same as the breakout? Did they do away with the top port maybe? I can't tell any difference from that photo or how its supposed to be better.

    OP I wouldn't sweat the ping.

    The post mentioned not needing to shim it, so I suspect it is three redesigned ports spaced along the tines.

    Hmm, that's interesting. Three ports at equal intervals apart vs. two large ones on the side and a smaller on on top. I still don't understand how that will significantly reduce flash or offer that much more "recoil reduction". The brakeout is already pretty effective at keeping the muzzle flat. AAC's reasoning of keeping a closed bottom to minimize "environmental disturbance" has already been debunked, as MarkM has shown us that even A2's kick up plenty of dust while shooting prone. So maybe they just rolled with a new device that doesn't need to be timed. I'm interested in it, would like to try one out when they become available.

    True I stated as much in my post..
    It was simply a visual / audio reference for those who weren't sure of the DREADED "Oh my flash hider, brake, etc makes a Ping sound" was.

    On a weapon intended for social purposes, this is a non-issue.
    For a "gamer's" carbine, how does this even matter?

    I had to go back and read it over again before I see where you "stated as much in your post". you should probably go back and make sure it's obvious before some moron starts badmouthing AAC over this vid...
    never push a wrench...

    The "PING" sound goes away after just a few magazines through a suppressor. I've seen this phenonomena dozens of times... likely because I had one of the hardest working M4-2000s before I pinned/welded it haha

    People who complain about "PING" on their AAC 51T Blackouts are simply folks who've not put significant rounds through their suppressor mounts. Carbon build up quickly changes the harmonics of the tines to a frequency that is outside of human gearing.

    Here's what my worst one sounds like, and the sound in this video is exactly what you hear through electronic ear pro- a pleasant sounding report from the rifle, followed by a drawn out whine from the FH. None of my other AAC FHs ping as bad as this.

    The section in the video showing the Saiga semi-auto rate of fire was impressive. Cool video.

    I have several thousand rounds through AAC blackouts, but 99% of my firing is suppressed. Why have a QD suppressor mount if you're not using the can?

    That video QR posted is nuts. I've never gotten anything close to that much report even with electronic ear pro. I guess they do vary between guns. I also wonder if firing suppressed eliminates it somewhat.

    Why do the loudest do the least?

    Some folks permanently attach them to 14.5 inch barrels so they can stay Title I, and other just want to be cool.
