Application / Regulation advice Legality of blast chambers?

Weird title sorry. Spoke with the guy at WW and he said this and his Giga Chad end cap will be legal in Canada since there is no noise attenuation.

What do you guys think? I have a Botnia brake right now and the blast is significant. I wouldn't mind trying this but don't want to purchase anything that would be considered a suppressor.

Surefire Warden's are legal in Canada. Looks to be a similar idea.

Muzzle brakes are legal. There is still sound but it is being directed in a certain direction as a byproduct, not muffled.

Personally I enjoy making sure no one sits next to me at any range so I see no need in this sir

It's similar to the ones that b&t make, which are legal.

Check his website, he made an endcap brake for suppressors but he also makes a coupler/blast chamber that is not a suppressors but reduces blast. Looks very interesting.

I'm thinking your talking explosions here Jesus.

Any muzzle device that attenuate sound is illegal.

Most else unless specifically listed are legal

Try doing it over and over again or being the shooter beside them.

I'm not a precision shooter but anything that helps reduce pressure and motion I imagine helps

Yeah, I still like it. I’ve fired a lot of really big bangs in my time. To me it’s all just part of the experience.

The brain fog effect after prolonged firing is very real though. Makes you feel stoned. Largest thing I’ve personally shot has a 300lb muzzle brake.

When I take a newb shooting I always warn them that it isn't just the sound that will be a shock but also the feeling in your body. I've had people walk away from it because it was overwhelming.

That’s a minor TBI. Not just brain fog. Lots of research coming out about this. It’s extremely easy to get a blast injury.

It doesn’t mean it isn’t happening to you. Look up the Blast and TBI studies the Americans are doing. It goes beyond only shooting but any rifle can do it. Especially indoors. Muzzle brakes and all that also make it worse depending on where you stand in relation to the origin. The shooter is typically safe but everyone around is getting rattled.

Ever been in an indoor range where the guy in the lane next to you is running a baffled brake? It sucks.

Not yet, but if I ever have the opportunity I’ll damn well try it
