Duct Tape on muzzle brake

[TheLongRanger83702]

When hunting in the field a muzzle brake is a pain and the extreme noise can damage your hearing. Has anybody ever tried wrapping the end of the gun with duct tape in order to block the holes on the muzzle brake? Is this an ok way to temporarily block the muzzle brake?

My "muzzle brake" doesnt require any tape. Its made by Surefire. SOCOM762RC

The problem with ear plugs is that you cannot hear the game rustling the brush.

The year is 2021, we have electric hearing protection in both muff and earplug configuration. This will both amplify ambient sound ie rustling foliage and upon a sound exceeding 85db will shut off in a very small fraction of a second.

if you do not like the big bad bang get a muffler for it

Does this question even require a response....

Try a linear break. It directs the sound down range but it doesn't help with recoil though.

What is that? How can I learn more about "the linear brake" ??

I am not familiar with electronic protection. What is that?

Many out there. That's what I use at the range. Amplifies sound so you can hear and then the electronics shut down and muffle the sound of a shot before any damage to your ears. Tape is worthless. As several have said it has no effect as it blows off.

There are both muffs and in ear types of electronic protection that protect your ears above a certain DB threshold and allow anything under that to get through. I've heard they make it harder to determine the direction of sound but I've never run them so I wouldn't know.

I have several sets of the electronic ear muffs they ranged from $15 - $135. The Howard Leight sport are the best I have tried. They allow me to hear others talking around me and cut the High Decibel sound of the round going off. I have several pair as I have found the Cheap ones don't last to long. Most of those now only have one side that works. I use them so much that now I'm looking at the "in the ear molds" that are fit for your ears and have hearing aid type abilities also. on the bad side, on hot days the muffs are sweaty!

I remember seeing a bunch of advertisements on here for a set of really small in-ear style that Len was using that I really like the look of but I can't remember what brand they were. I know they were in the $300 range.

For hunting I tape my brake and it keeps dirt out.
I can't hear the rest of this conversation.

Soundgear or Walker In earplugs work great. I use them with my McWhorter 50 cal.

Actually for what you are looking for................ Is as said above "Suppressor" there is no fix for the brake....
