Sweet Baby Jesus he has tons of ammo!

I wonder why he uses an 18" barrel, when a shorter barrel allows for better muzzle control, and quicker pointing. Is that a minimum requirement or something? I suppose he probably uses an 18" barrel for the extra muzzle weight to aid in rapid fire, which would mean he values firing speed more than aiming speed. Enlighten me if you know the real reason please.

At least he is honest about his compensator being "brutally loud". I can see the need for a muzzle break device to reduce recoil for competition, but I loathe them at the gun range. If it is polite to use a sound suppressor, then it is just plain ornery to use a muzzle break.

I can't speak for Jerry, but the reason I'd do an 18 inch barrel is because it's the shortest you can go with a rifle length gas system.
