Kind of a weird question. I already have one AR which has a RRA NM A2 upper with no muzzle device - I'm looking to build a 2nd more of the zombie/tactical/HD type for fun and maybe taking some classes. The recoil of .223/5.56 is not bothersome to me at all, but on this new rifle I do want some sort of muzzle device to protect the barrel crown. But, I don't actually care at all how effective it is at reducing recoil. I've been next to some guys with compensators/brakes at the range and they can be loud/obnoxious as hell for the guy next to you. And I've heard some can be annoying/extra loud even to the shooters.
Accordingly, what compensator/brake would you put on a AR if your #1 requirement was having it be as "unobnoxious" (both for you and the guy next to you) as possible? Any recoil reduction would just be a bonus.
