The muzzle blast from firearms can lead to permanent hearing damage, tinnitus, and potential physical injury for shooters. The shorter the barrel, the more intense the blast and the closer to the ears the exit event. While a silencer might be the most desirable option, sometimes it just isn't in the cards. Griffin Armament makes a Blast Shield compatible with their Dual-Lok muzzle devices to help protect you from concussion.
A blast shield or blast deflector is a muzzle device designed to manage the concussive blast from firearms, particularly short-barreled rifles. These devices direct the explosive gases forward, reducing the impact on the shooter and those nearby. This is especially beneficial in confined spaces or during rapid-fire situations, where excessive blast can cause discomfort, hearing damage, and can disrupt concentration.
The Griffin Armament Dual-Lok Blast Shield features a Dual-Lok mechanism, providing a secure, quick-attach system compatible with Griffin's muzzle devices. This ensures a tight fit, minimizing the risk of loosening during firing. Its robust construction offers durability under rigorous conditions, while its design effectively mitigates the side blast, enhancing shooter comfort and safety. The Dual-Lok Blast Shield's ability to quickly attach and detach adds versatility, allowing shooters to adapt to varying operational needs without compromising performance. This makes it a practical choice for both tactical and recreational shooters seeking to improve their shooting experience by reducing the negative effects of muzzle blast.
In our opinion, your hearing is pretty important. Once it's gone you don't get it back. Obviously we at Charlie's wish everything could be suppressed. Unfortunately due to legal, logistic, and budget concerns, this isn't an option for everyone. For those who still want to kill dangerous concussion the next best option is a blast shield. Griffin Armament's Dual-Lok Blast Shield is an excellent way to reduce harmful over pressure exposure to the shooter and surrounding bystanders. With very short barreled platforms, ear protection can only go so far. Help divert sound pressure early before it makes it to your ears.
It is important to note that the Griffin Armament Blast Shield does not reduce the sound at the muzzle but rather redirects it forward, away from the shooter's ears. This device is not a suppressor or silencer and does not fall under the regulations of the National Firearms Act (NFA).
