While other compensators and flash hiders can be awkward and dangerous, the B&T Blast Deflector is easy to use and safe. The B&T Blast Deflector can be installed in less than one second with compatible muzzle breaks and compensators. The B&T Blast Deflector slows down the hot gases leaving the muzzle and halts lateral dispersion. Its lightweight nature provides the ability to take faster follow up shots. The B&T Blast Deflector, however, does not reduce sound.
