Why I Don’t Like Compensators on Rifles
This video features an experienced instructor discussing his reservations about using compensators on rifles, particularly the AR-15 platform. He argues that compensators can negatively impact a rifle's precision, potentially degrading a one-minute-of-angle (MOA) rifle to a two-MOA rifle. The instructor emphasizes the importance of shooter control in managing recoil, stating a preference for a rifle that allows the shooter to mitigate recoil through proper stance and technique rather than relying on a device to dictate the gun's behavior.
