A muzzle brake is not a closed cylinder. There would also be no reason to make it that long.
yeah, I'm European, I don't know shit about guns
I have to ask: You are aware that you have no idea what you are talking about, yet you felt the need to answer him? Can you explain why? This is an extremely common thing for people to do, so it is very interesting to hear (if possible) what your train of thought was.
I'm not sure that beating up on someone who decides to say that they aren't familiar with something and are retracting an earlier suggestion is a good idea. Seems likely to lead to people not retracting things even when they think that they might not be correct.
I simply want to understand the thought process. I appreciate that they acknowledge it to begin with.
It's a fucking joke, mate. Me being European has nothing to do with my knowledge of firearms. A muzzle brake is a fair guess, so is a WWII-era heat sink. But, I guess you know guns better than I do, congratulations. You really owned me.
Untwist your pantalettes.
Since we're all going off what is visible and nothing more: the outer bits seem to be fabric, maybe those are dirt covers?
Suppressors tend to get very hot very quickly. This produces a mirage effect when looking through the scope. Wraps made of high temperature materials help mitigate that and also allow the shooter to remove the suppressor without having to wait until it cools down.
