Frequently Asked Questions
1. What sets a hybrid muzzle brake/compensator apart from a standard brake?
This device combines recoil reduction (like a brake) with muzzle rise mitigation (like a compensator) through strategic gas redirection, providing balanced performance without extreme side blast.
2. Is the Nero compatible with my AR-15 pistol?
Yes, it fits AR pistols chambered in .223/5.56 with 1/2×28 threaded barrels, offering the same recoil control benefits in a compact package.
3. Does this increase noise compared to a flash hider?
As a performance-oriented brake/compensator, it may produce more audible report than a flash hider, but its design helps manage concussion for a more tolerable shooting experience.
