How much does a compensator affect bullet trajectory?
If it strike the comp...your bullets would make some strange holes, and it would be crack in no time......
That all depends on the amount it touches, I had some just touching the last baffle and since not every bullet hit I got two distinct groups on target about 5" apart. It wasn't enough to cause any tumbling and once we reamed the comp the gun went back to grouping fine.
Does anyone know if the compensator on a cz has play on the threads. It does not tighten up, it stays on very loose fitting, is this normal? Sorry for the stupid question, I put a NEA heavy brake on my cz and it will not screw in all the way to lick on the locking pin.
Contrary to the above the compensator shape can effect trajectory if the cutouts are not deep enough the bullet may rise due to gas pressure under the bullet. If you have lots of hybrid holes and a lot of slow powder the bullet may also rise, so the comp holes have to be slightly egg shaped up to allow for this.
Also comp guns will tend to shoot different bullet shapes to different impact points ..up to 2 - 4 in at 25 yards. HAP at dead center will allow round nose to shoot 3 high and 3 right in my 2 guns.
