    KAC-specific question: Which works best? Simple Flash Hider? Brake? MAMS?

    I know a lot of cans function better with simple hiders rather than ported brakes — some a LOT better.

    Not sure if that applies to KAC.

    Never intend to shoot unsuppressed, so that variable won’t matter. Just wanna know which makes the can perform optimally.
     
    5.56 or 7.62? The MAMS is out of production, so 7.62-wise I think the two port brake is your option for blast baffle erosion mitigation and what not. On the 22cal side there is no brake as of yet and said MAMS is again out of production.

    For QDC suppressors, current 5.56 suppressors are primarily tested/developed for performance with the 3-prong flash hider, as that's what the programs that caused their creation were centered on. Using a QDC-compatible brake or Mini-MAMS will give slightly different results in flash/SPL/backpressure, but not drastic.
    In 7.62/6.5, the open brake (current standard) is what the suppressors were built around. Again, the 3-prong, 5-slot, 6-slot, and MAMS will show varying degrees of different performance, but within the same general performance spec. Be aware that old "long-tine" MAMS may show compatibility issues with newer suppressors, which is why we made the revision with the shorter tines several years ago.

    3-prong it is!

    Thanks for the legit answer.

    I’ll get that miscegenated bastard HUX brake off the tip of my pureblood KAC CQ post haste and return the simple 3-prong to its rightful position of glory and honor.

    For academic purposes, this is what’s going on a factory 11.5 SR-15:

    Use at least 0.075 of shim when you install the 3-prong if your 11.5 is a Mod 2/10.5" URX4.
