    Very little. But that’s exactly the point of this thread. I’ve been shooting for several years and have done so little of that that I don’t mind not being able to put my face next to a comp at night time because that shit pretty much never happens. If it happens once, I’ll drive on.

    Or non-static firing lines.

    Not always. I shoot matches with a recently retired(medical) guy who was in the 3rd special forces and spent some quality time in Afganistan. He doesn't get paid to hawk gear and he really likes the games. Games are fun, but they're not tactics training.

    I only use comps in the games. SD guns I use a fh.

    Yes, but...depending on the brake, I wonder if it isn't possible to be injured. Eye, equilibrium, etc...

    What muzzle devices are the Russians currently using on their newest adopted assault rifles.

    We don't have any choice in California. The flash hider had to come off. Anything that even remotely looks like a flash hider ist Streng Verboten and may land you in a Tijuana prison cell.

    Suppressor is the answer here because even flash hiders in tight spaces are obnoxious, especially with shorter barrels. My A2 equipped 6933 throws more flash than my flash comp equipped 16” rifle.

    Obviously everything is purpose driven. Serious gamers would be doing themselves a disservice by not running a comp or brake, and the guys setting up for HD/SD would benefit more from a flash hider/suppressor. For the guys who like to dabble in both, why not a hybrid device? Spend your money how you want.

    Exactly why my defensive gun wears a Surefire can.

    That's fine, and is a reasonable position as long as you don't view your AR as a likely defensive tool. I suspect this is the disconnect here. You don't see the defensive use of your AR at all, much less at night or with a teammate to the side of your muzzle, as even remotely likely.

    If your AR is for defensive use then I would recommend adding more realistic training. Without training you are not making an informed decision.

    I know some of you may think this thread was a waste of time. However, it helped me to think through some stuff and learn from others’ experience. So I appreciate the time everyone put into it.
