3.21.10.1 Muzzle brake definition
A muzzle brake is defined as any muzzle device that features at least one set of externally visible braking baffles for which the uncompromising purpose is to reduce recoil force, rather than compensate for muzzle rise or act as a flash hider. Examples:
The PWS PRC Compensator IS defined as a muzzle brake because the first ports closest to the barrel constitute a set of externally visible braking baffles. However, the similar PWS FSC Compensator is NOT defined as a muzzle brake because its baffle set is compromised in terms of recoil reduction in order to achieve its hybrid purpose.
The Surefire Warcomp is NOT defined as a muzzle brake because it acts as a flash hider with muzzle rise compensating ports, not braking baffles to reduce recoil force.
The KAC MAMS, Precision Armament EFAB and AFAB, and similar devices are NOT defined as muzzle brakes because their baffle sets do not have the uncompromised purpose of reducing recoil due to the pinhole-style gas port design.
For any specific muzzle device questions, please send a link to the product or very clear pictures of the device to info@pcsleague.com
3.21.10.2 Blast mitigation devices
A blast mitigation device such as the Surefire Warden or Griffin Armament Blast Shield that remains attached to a muzzle brake is allowed as long as the device directs all gasses forward of the muzzle.
3.21.11 Bolt Carrier Groups
Lightened or Reduced Mass BCGs are prohibited. In any platform, the total assembled BCG mass must be no less than 0.2oz under the OEM BCG mass of the platform. In an AR-15, the OEM BCG mass is considered to be 11.0oz.
3.21.12 Support devices
Tripods, bipods, bags, and related support devices are prohibited.
3.21.13 Other restrictions
No other restrictions.
