![]() While not all of my readers have had the pleasure to shoot a really high-end precision rifle (like the other 3 test rifles), almost everyone has fired a rifle similar to this. I consider it my baseline for comparison. This particular one is a Savage Axis SR 308 Win. It is a standard, budget-friendly 308 rifle. The rifle I used is not a precision rifle, but it represents something most people are familiar with. 308 Muzzle Brake Resultsįor our mid-sized 30 caliber cartridge, I had to go with the legendary 308 Win. To learn more about those measurements and hear the cases for both sides, please read the recoil post. Average % Reduction – This is just the average of the other two measures (weighted 50/50).% Reduction in Peak Force – This is the highest instantaneous peak force recorded through the entire recoil event.It isn’t just the peak force, but the entire “area under the curve” when you graph force over time. It represents the total “size” of the force that I described in the recoil post. % Reduction in Overall Momentum – This is the reduction in overall impulse or total momentum of the rifle at the end of the recoil.For each set of results, I will show 3 pieces of information: Here is an example of the data I recorded for one of the muzzle brakes:Īs I publish the results, I plan to show how much each muzzle brake reduces recoil compared to a bare muzzle. So I backed that down to only be 3 shots per muzzle brake. I started out firing 5 shots per muzzle brake, but as I refined the system and setup, my data became so consistent and repeatable that 5 shots seemed like I was just wasting a lot of good match-grade ammo without adding any value. The results are based on the average of multiple shots fired with each muzzle brake. Honestly, I’m not here to try to convince anyone one way or the other, but simply present the data. As we learned in the recoil post, it seems to be some combination of the two factors. Some experts lean more towards that being related to the total impulse or momentum, and others think it is more linked to the peak force. The big question comes down to what measurement most closely correlates to perceived recoil from the shooter’s perspective. Unfortunately, there is no industry standard for measuring recoil, which means manufacturers often publish whatever makes them look better. Here is the full line-up of muzzle brakes, and you can read more about each in this post.Īs we discussed in the recoil post, when someone claims a product “reduces recoil by 50%” … it usually isn’t clear what they’re talking about. ![]() For more info on the test equipment and how the data was gathered, please see the recoil post. ![]() The recoil data was collected using high-speed, high-resolution force sensors. This post summarizes the results for the recoil tests ran on 20+ muzzle brakes using two 30 caliber test rifles: the 308 Win and the monster 300 Norma Magnum.

![]() The parking lots are massive and so there is a lot of driving looking for spots, and then walking. While I still visit LL Bean for personal and practical gifts, the old thrill of shopping there is but a memory.Įxpectedly, the place is HUGE with multiple stores/shops.one for skiing, one for hunting, one for home, and the flagship store. ![]() That means that the boots that put LL Bean on the map a century ago are now no longer worth its founder’s original guarantee. With the ending of its lifetime product guarantee, LL Bean has lost its edge. Even the choice of styles and colors of such attire has declined precipitously in recent years. Quality and durability of shirts and sweaters and hiking boots and raingear aren’t what they once were. Leading-edge products for outdoor adventures engage one’s attention and create longing to be outdoors. Memorials revere the founder’s wisdom with words and images. Displays of a taxidermist’s art fill a stairwell niche. Inside staff eagerly guide patrons to whatever they seek. The iconic big boot still guards the main building’s front entrance. Paved paths lead from one building to another. ![]() At the northeast side lot is a multiport electric car charging center. Its themed buildings share a central campus with massive amounts of parking nearby. But no trip to Maine is really complete with a visit to Bean in Freeport, even if you don't buy anything it's worth seeing and taking that picture outside by the Big Boot.Īs the epicenter for the area’s outlet stores, and a flagship in its own right, LL Bean has lost little of its luster since my last visit. I understand there is an "outlet store" in Freeport proper too, but we did not visit so I cannot comment on it's contents of value. If you are hunting for Bean discounts the Outlet Store in Ellsworth (near Acadia NP, albeit 2 hours north) may be what you seek. Now, given the high quality and outstanding level of customer service that goes with that price that doesn't bother a lot of folks (me included), but each of the stores has a sale section where you can indeed find bargain priced items, which is good actually for those at either end of the "standard sizing" charts because the small and large sizes seem to show up in the Sale Sections in greater numbers than the average ones (naturally). The complex is large and vast, the stores are staffed by friendly and helpful employees, and if you are looking for a specific item you will find it in your color, size, shape and/or unique length as long as you are willing to pay the full Bean price. Multiple Bean Stores, each catering to a different section of their Catalog (i.e. Their digital ghillie suit will turn you all but invisible, letting you stealthily approach to get the drop on unsuspecting opponents and help your allies clear out an occupied zone. This is where the Echelon (Splinter Cell) shine. This might sound simple, but the zone is constantly changing locations, forcing you to be mobile and adapt to your surroundings. In Occupy, there’s only one zone you need to capture. Place one or two of these down to block enemy bullets while you and your allies fire back through the one-way barrier. Once a zone is yours, you’ll need to hold onto it, and that’s where the Phantoms’ Mag Barrier comes into play. If all else fails, remember the Purifier The Cleaners’ Ultra ability arms you with a powerful flamethrower that’ll roast anyone in your path. You might not survive getting that up close and personal, but neither will your opponents, leaving your teammates free to gain control. It’s a powerful ability that can instantly clear a zone of enemy presence, provided you can get in close enough to set it off. ![]() Or, if you’re looking to make a splash, their Firebomb ability throws a Molotov cocktail on the ground blanketing the immediate area in fire. The Cleaners’ Incinerator drone will lay down a strip of fire that can cut off routes, zoning the entire enemy team out or splitting them up. Because the points are stationary and holding them is the name of the game, you’re going to want Factions that specialize in area denial and defense, like The Cleaners (The Division) and The Phantoms (Ghost Recon). Starting with the Arena modes, we have Domination, where teams compete to capture and control three points across the map. To help you adapt on the fly and get an edge in each game mode, here are some recommendations for how to use each faction's strengths to your advantage. ![]() Linear matches put one side on the offensive and the other on defense, and force you to employ different tactics. Arena matches have both sides competing to achieve a higher score than their opponents in symmetrical gameplay. Game modes in XDefiant are broken up into two categories: Arena and Linear. For those diving into the Closed Beta this week, here are some starter tips for what we think the best faction synergies are for each game mode.Įvery time you spawn in XDefiant, you can choose your faction, which determines your passive trait, activated ability, and Ultra as well as your loadout, which determines the weapons you use. Each of XDefiant’s factions open new gameplay opportunities that can drastically change the way you play, which is helpful because each of the five game modes calls for a different strategy.

I guess it kind of started off as a joke, but there’s a little bit of truth in the joke. I definitely did not give myself that title. You’ve been called the biscuit whisperer how and when did you get that title? I would then top that with an over-medium egg and cheese. I think that Austin’s biscuit would be called “Good Times.” I would probably put maple brown sugar sauce on it, bacon, then some fried crispy apple. If Austin was a biscuit, what would be its name, and what would be on it? This Yelp Top 100 is an example of what that looks like in real terms. What is beautiful is the manifestation of it.

The 1 per 20 (5%) frequency is a typical value that has been used in many EPA programs for many years. Why do so many of the QC operations (MS, MSD, LCS, blanks, etc.) have to be run "once for every 20 samples?" Why do many of the SW-846 quality control (QC) operations have to be run "once for every 20 samples?" Appropriate use of a single set of MS/MSD results is to evaluate method performance in the matrix of interest, not to evaluate laboratory performance. ORCR believes that consistent trends in MS/MSD results can be of some use in evaluating laboratory performance, as are trends in surrogate recoveries, LCS recoveries, and other QC data. Therefore, the LCS results should be used in conjunction with MS/MSD results to separate issues of laboratory performance and "matrix effects." The primary purpose of the laboratory control sample (LCS) is to demonstrate that the laboratory can perform the overall analytical approach in a matrix free of interferences (e.g., in reagent water, clean sand, or another suitable reference matrix) and its analytical system is in control. The primary purpose of these MS/MSD analyses is to establish the applicability of the overall analytical approach (e.g., preparative, cleanup, and determinative methods) to the specific sample matrix from the site of interest. The Office of Resource Conservation and Recovery (ORCR) believes that such a demonstration is an important aspect of an overall quality assurance program, and is particularly important for the RCRA program, which governs a wide range of different matrices. The MS/MSD results are an important measure of the performance of the method relative to the specific sample matrix of interest.
