No, they are for disemboweling the enemy. Of course you couldn't
possible know that.

But...as a side utility..they do work as an impromptu kan opener.

The 3 fingered flash suppressor on the early M16s was to keep the
flash of the weapon out of your aiming line of sight. The secondary
utility was for busting the strapping on C-rat cases.

Then the *******s changed the design...sigh

I played with my neighbor's M16 a while back.
It was one of those new fangled heavy barrel things.
I didn't much care fore it.

Yeah, but they go off every time you pull the trigger, unlike an M4.


There is that, of course...

My personal piece, If I can pick anything I want would be a match
grade M14 - big, heavy, clunky, old fashioned.

But it's one hell of a punch when you need one.
