LANTAC BMD™ Blast Mitigation Device: The Uncompromised Solution for Muzzle Blast Control
Transform Your Shooting Experience: Taming Concussive Muzzle Blast Without Compromise
Are you a shooter who values precision and performance but is constantly battling the disruptive force of muzzle blast? Do you find yourself or your teammates subjected to the concussive shockwave and uncomfortable noise generated by high-performance muzzle brakes, especially in confined spaces or during team drills? If you're seeking to enhance your shooting comfort, improve range etiquette, and maintain peak muzzle brake efficiency, the LANTAC BMD™ Blast Mitigation Device is engineered precisely for your needs.
The LANTAC BMD™ (Blast Mitigation Device) represents a paradigm shift in muzzle accessory design. It is the definitive answer for those who demand advanced blast diffusion without sacrificing the critical performance of their muzzle brake. This isn't just another blast shield; it's a meticulously engineered system designed to integrate seamlessly with your LANTAC DGN556B™ Dragon™ Muzzle Brake, ensuring that the unique muzzle climb mitigation capabilities of the brake remain fully operational while redirecting concussive forces away from the shooter and surrounding personnel.
The Problem with Muzzle Blast: More Than Just Noise
For rifle enthusiasts, competitive shooters, and tactical professionals, controlling recoil and muzzle rise is paramount to accuracy and rapid follow-up shots. High-performance muzzle brakes excel at this by aggressively redirecting gas. However, this redirection often comes at a cost: an intense, concussive blast that can be disorienting, uncomfortable, and even hazardous to those nearby.
- Concussive Force: The powerful shockwave generated by a muzzle brake can cause discomfort, loss of concentration, and even physical symptoms like headaches or ear ringing for shooters and adjacent individuals.
- Noise Amplification: While ear protection is crucial, the perceived noise from a braked rifle can still be overwhelming, especially indoors.
- Dust and Debris Signature: On outdoor ranges, aggressive gas redirection can kick up significant dust and debris, obscuring vision and revealing positions.
- Team Communication & Safety: In a tactical or team shooting environment, excessive muzzle blast hinders communication, impacts situational awareness, and can be a significant nuisance or safety concern for partners.
Traditional blast shields often address the forward blast but at the expense of altering the gas dynamics required for effective muzzle brake function. This means you might gain comfort but lose the very performance benefits you sought from your muzzle brake. The LANTAC BMD™ uniquely solves this dilemma.
The LANTAC BMD™: Patented Innovation for Uncompromised Performance
At the heart of the LANTAC BMD™'s revolutionary design lies its patent-pending technology, which sets it apart from all other blast mitigation solutions on the market. Unlike conventional blast deflectors that can trap gas or disrupt the precise venting of a muzzle brake, the BMD™ features unique 'through' ports. These ingeniously designed channels directly connect the DGN556B™ muzzle brake's vertical gas vents to the outside atmosphere. This critical feature ensures that the brake's primary function—muzzle climb mitigation—remains entirely unhindered.
This means you can enjoy the full benefit of your DGN556B™ Dragon™ Muzzle Brake's superior recoil and muzzle rise control, even while the BMD™ is installed. This is a game-changer for competitive shooters who rely on every ounce of performance for speed and accuracy, and for tactical users who cannot afford any compromise in weapon control.
Further enhancing its efficacy, the BMD™ incorporates sets of 'diffuser' grids strategically positioned towards the top of the blast shield. These grids play a crucial role in assisting gas to vent upwards as well as forwards at the moment of firing. This upward gas redirection provides additional muzzle control, working in concert with the DGN556B™ to keep your rifle exceptionally flat and on target.
Redirecting the Force: Enhanced Safety and Comfort
While preserving muzzle brake performance, the LANTAC BMD™ excels at its primary mission: directing concussive muzzle blast forwards and downrange, away from the shooter and nearby individuals. This forward redirection dramatically reduces the felt concussion and noise at the shooter's position and for anyone standing to the sides. The result is a significantly more comfortable shooting experience for everyone involved, fostering better communication, reducing fatigue, and enhancing overall range safety.
Adding another layer of refinement, radial teeth at the exit aperture of the BMD™ actively disrupt blast gas as it exits the device. This subtle yet effective feature helps to further diffuse the blast signature, contributing to a cleaner and more controlled gas flow.
Precision Engineering for Seamless Integration
The LANTAC BMD™ is specifically engineered to mount to the LANTAC DGN556B™ Dragon™ Muzzle Brake. This dedicated design ensures optimal performance and a secure fit. The mounting system utilizes a robust adapter collar, meticulously designed to accommodate a wide range of outside diameters for the DGN556B™. This collar effectively mounts within a precise size range of .855'' to .872'' Diameter.
To ensure perfect compatibility and secure installation, it is strongly recommended that you use a quality set of vernier calipers to accurately check the outside diameter of your DGN556B™ muzzle device before ordering. Measurements should be taken from the circular section of the brake marked with the 'LANTAC' logo. Diameters falling outside the specified range may require professional gunsmith work for proper fitting or may not be compatible with this product, highlighting the importance of precise measurement for optimal function and safety.
Installation of the BMD™ onto the adapter collar is both straightforward and incredibly secure. The device mounts via the use of two rugged clips. These clips are designed to be robust and must both be depressed simultaneously to remove the device from its mount, ensuring accidental detachment is virtually impossible under normal operating conditions. For permanent and reliable retention of the adapter collar to your DGN556B™ muzzle brake, the device ships complete with a vial of Rocksett. This high-temperature, high-strength thread locker is essential for ensuring all mounting set screws are securely retained in place, guaranteeing long-term stability and performance.
