    A duct tape flak wrap on the can should solve the shrapnel problem, you can do anything with duct tape these days! (he, he, he!)



    DISCLAIMER: nothing I say should be taken seriously.

    A linear comp/Pig would "help" if you're shooting outdoors under a roof if your baseline muzzle device vents sound/gas upwards and/or to the sides... but with an increase in perceived recoil. A bare muzzle would, IMO, be the worst scenario in all situations unless you like fireballs, and there's definitely something to be said for fireballs!
    I captured some fireballs! Once the review goes live I'll post a link. The high resolution fireballs from the drone are pretty cool!

    The Russians made a muzzle device that looks like a storm whistle. The point was to change the sounds pitch to outside human hearing. It worked somewhat.

    here it is on an An-94

    That is super interesting, do you have any videos or anything where you can get an idea of how it sounds? I'm curious to check that out... I'm assuming it would still damage your hearing pretty bad, but all the same i'm intrigued!

    This is all I can find. No DB comparisons or anything.
