[QUOTE="Hand Skills, post: 1491534, member: 103303"] [USER=12443]@yobuck[/USER] thanks for the context. That sounds like a very effective setup. Hearing damage is irreparable. From my perspective, damage is damage and should be mitigated wherever possible. I think it's safest to leave it at that, and fully agree with your closing sentiment. From a physiological perspective though, 1 shot from an braked rifle can do as much damage as 10 shots from a standard muzzle. Obviously this depends on brake design and barrel length, but 1 order of magnitude is significant. To me that's enough to warrant doubling up on plugs/muffs whenever I'm in the vicinity of a brake. By today's standards, a good brake will reduce recoil energy by upwards of 50%. It will increase sound energy by up to 1000%. [/QUOTE]
