I was under the impression that it was more on the order of several feet.Ravenblack said:If I use a sabot round, what effect will that have if I use a compensator or flash hider on my barrel?
What I mean is: Will the sabot fall away and foul the bullet in the first 2" to 3" of the end of the barrel if there is a flash hider or compensator fitted, or does the sabot drop away after a few feet?
I'm curious as to how you found this out?natdscott said:Do NOT use saboted rounds with a muzzlebreak! :!:
The sabot's petals are designed to catch air and either break off, or at the least bend backwards, upon exiting the barrel. They may travel from a few feet to several yards, depending on the velocity (my ML sabots travel an average of 31 yards). It is these same petals that can potentially catch in a break, flash hider, or sound moderator, causing the next shot to have OBVIOUS problems.
What about a flash hider? The internal diameter will be the external dimeter of the barrel. I could post a small picture if it would help.natdscott said:Do NOT use saboted rounds with a muzzlebreak! :!:

Nope. Go to it Raven, just be careful and let us know how it goes!junkyard_dog45 said:Does anyone see how it could do damage by firing one shot?
