![]() ![]() The 45 ACP round, while fired on full auto, would cause the muzzle to rise due to recoil and the Cutts Compensator helped keep the guns on target. One of the earliest compensator designs was the Cutts Compensator found on the Thompson submachine gun. ![]() Most compensators divert gasses and muzzle blast in a downward fashion to keep the firearm from rising during the firing sequence. A compensator’s primary role is to reduce “muzzle flip” or “muzzle climb.” While some manufacturers claim that they aid in recoil reduction, this is not entirely true, as most compensators operate on a different principle. WHAT IS A COMPENSATOR?Ī compensator is a type of muzzle device that works in a different way than a muzzle brake. Three gun shooters like muzzle brakes as they can allow for faster follow-up shots and a reduced recoil impulse. However, this is not always the case and they have been used successfully on rifles where a muzzle brake would have been uncommon even a decade ago.Ĭompetitive long range shooters tend to favor muzzle brakes, as the redirected gas and flash allow them to maintain a better sight picture. Originally, muzzle brakes were meant for use on calibers that generated a lot of felt recoil and they were commonly found on belted magnum rifle cartridges intended for big game or dangerous game hunting or bolt-action pistols chambered in 308 Winchester and 30-06 Springfield for use in handgun hunting. This is typically a result of the other parties feeling the shockwave generated as opposed to the sound itself. In some cases, the shooter may find the report of the weapon to be louder but most of the time it is the other shooters in close proximity that will find the shots fired to be louder. The drawback to most muzzle brakes is that they can change the direction of the sound of the fired round. This tends to prolong the life of the suppressor. This is not the same as a sound baffle, which decreases the sound signature of the firearm, but rather that the brake takes the brunt of the muzzle blast and fired gasses as opposed to the baffles in the suppressor itself. Some muzzle brakes, when used in conjunction with a suppressor, can act as a sacrificial blast baffle. Secondary benefits of muzzle brakes are byproducts of this as the reduction in felt recoil can aid the shooter with regard to accuracy and allow for faster follow up shots. Although construction varies, the primary identifying characteristic is a series of cuts that direct the burning gasses and muzzle blast of a fired round away from the shooter and most often toward the side or 180 degrees from the muzzle itself.Īs most of the felt recoil from a firearm originates at the muzzle, this effort is primarily done to reduce recoil. We’ll go over the nitty-gritty of muzzle brakes and compensators, but if you’re looking for a quick reference, take a look at this chart for the two major differences between the two: MUZZLE BRAKEĪ muzzle brake is a device which threads onto the end of a firearm’s barrel. Some come equipped with thread protectors and many come with a muzzle device.Īlthough the included muzzle device is typically a flash suppressor, some jurisdictions cling to antiquated and ill-informed laws that regard these devices as an “evil feature,” whereas a muzzle brake or compensator is perfectly legal. This has recently extended to bolt-action and lever-action rifles more commonly found in the hunting as opposed to the tactical arena. Most rifle barrels in the past several years have come threaded from the factory so the shooter can add a muzzle device such as a muzzle brake or a compensator. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() You spend 40 hours fumbling around in the dark, only to finally be given the armour that makes stealth so much more enjoyable. Considering the fact it takes until the end of Act 2 to get a proper stealth tutorial as “The Ghost”, it’s no wonder the stealth doesn’t feel as good. The stealth gameplay isn’t quite so brilliant, but there’s still plenty of fun to be had hiding in the tall grass and assassinating people as they walk past. You’re able to switch between four sword stances, each of which have strengths against certain Mongol weapon types, meaning you’ll have to master the blade effectively in order to win, especially as the Mongols and bandits throw every trick in the book at you. The core swordplay is simplistic yet challenging in equal measure. Ghost of TsushimaĪs for the gameplay, Ghost of Tsushima manages to, for the most part, brilliantly mesh two kinds of combat into one game, making both options equally viable. Features like Photo Mode were built for a game like Ghost of Tsushima, and you’ll often spend more time just gawping at the landscape than actually fighting dudes. The island of Tsushima, with its vibrant flora, tumultuous weather and gorgeous vistas, is one of the prettiest open world sandboxes you’ll ever have the luxury of playing around in. It also helps that Ghost of Tsushima: Director’s Cut both looks and plays phenomenally. Seeing lots of quest icons or question marks on the map can sometimes lead to decision paralysis, and for the most part, you’ll have seen the majority of your gameplay loop by the end of Act 1, but there’s something inherently satisfying about seeing a map slowly completed. There’s outposts to clear, collectibles to find, weapons and gear to upgrade and plenty of quests to complete, and sometimes the sheer amount of stuff to do can be a bit overwhelming. Ghost of TsushimaĪs for the gameplay, it follows the same kind of formula that’s been seen in many open world games in the past, particularly of the Ubisoft variety. This is about Jin’s journey, his evolution even, and what that means for the samurai, the island of Tsushima, and all who stand in his way. Being able to choose between honourable and dishonourable actions might have added some replay value to the game, but it would have ruined the story. ![]() Sucker Punch could have easily played this into a morality system between samurai and Ghost, but they wisely made it an evolution for Jin’s character. There’s a case for both sides, though I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t fully supporting Jin throughout the game. The Mongols are able to dominate the islanders because of the samurai’s rigid adherence to their code, and while breaking that code to defeat the Mongols might yield a short term victory, it’ll potentially create a more savage society once the Mongol threat is eliminated. When your very survival is at stake, is it more important to die with honour, or do everything possible, even if it means condemnation, in order to win? It’s classic Nietzche: “Beware that, when fighting monsters, you yourself do not become a monster…” Ghost of Tsushima does a good job of arguing both points. It’s a narrative that touches on themes that have been explored in the past. However, the utter savagery of the Mongols forces Jin to assess the samurai code of honour he swore to uphold, leading him down a darker path in the pursuit of a greater good. Playing as Jin Sakai, one of the few samurai survivors of the Mongol invasion of Tsushima, you’re tasked with rallying the remaining troops to try and mount some kind of resistance. Although it’s a real shame that a lot of the features of the PS5 version were locked behind a paywall for even those who already owned the game, it feels like the Director’s Cut is aimed at PS5 owners who never played the game before. Having already launched on PS4 last year to incredible success, Sony and Sucker Punch have updated Ghost of Tsushima for PS5 users with the Director’s Cut. Samurai Far Cry is an accurate description, and Ghost of Tsushima owns it to become one of the most engaging open world games on PS5. The formula has been seen so many times before, and yet, the pieces come together to create a game that’s a struggle to tear yourself away from. Tsushima doesn’t really add anything new to the open world genre, it’s not a grand innovation, nor is it breaking new ground. Describing Ghost of Tsushima as “Samurai Far Cry” sounds like it should be an insult. ![]() ![]() ![]() Know that the sizing, quality, and look of an item may not be what you expect or what you see in the pictures, so you should always check the sizing chart and read any reviews of the item first. Make sure you do your research before buying something from Shein, too, to avoid having to deal with customer serivce. I’d recommend pieces shopped at Shein for those fun items you only plan to wear a handful of times, like a party dress or a graphic tee, but not for investment pieces, like a winter coat or jeans, that you want to get a lot of use out of. It’s the online-only equivalent of mall stores like Forever 21 and Charlotte Russe. And with Shein, you get what you pay for: low-cost, trendy clothes that can be hit or miss when it comes to actual quality. But that being said, I don’t love Shein or inexpensive things that fall apart after the first use. I love good deals as much as the next person. However, it held up in the wash without shrinking and looks more high quality than it feels. I wore it on one chilly fall day and it didn’t keep me very warm, as the wind went right through the coat. It’s soft, sure, but the material itself-a polyester fleece-is very thin. While it looks just as it did online and is super-cute (I got tons of compliments on it!), after washing it just once, one of the buttons fell off and some loose threads popped up near the seams.Īnd as for the teddy coat, I’d rate it subpar. I was hopeful that the dress I bought would be just as much of a winner-but it wasn’t. And since it's made of acrylic, it didn’t shrink or stretch out, even after wearing it for two straight days and then putting it through two washer and dryer cycles. And from the reviews I’ve read by other bloggers and influencers, it’s the same experience across the board.įor example, my leopard cardigan is thick and cozy and, despite my fears, isn’t at all scratchy or stiff. In my experience, the clothing quality was as inconsistent as the sizing. ![]() This teddy coat was more fashionable than functional. However, the “oversized” cardigan was a little more snug in the sleeves than I’d like, despite the fact that I ordered a size larger than I usually would. The teddy jacket, ordered one size larger than my usual, was roomy enough to fit over other clothes and the sleeves came right to my wrists as promised by the sizing guide. The dress, which I ordered in my usual size, was fitted in all the right places and hit exactly at mid-thigh as shown in the photo. My pieces fit fairly true to size (that’s blogger speak for “they fit like I expected them to”). But even if you know your usual size, I would always check the chart just to be safe-multiple reviewers complain that they ordered a small only to get something that felt more like an extra large, and vice versa. Fortunately, each item has an in-depth sizing chart with the specific measurements for every size, so it’s less of a guess. I had heard nightmare stories about the sizing so I was extra-cautious. One of the hardest things about online clothes shopping is determining what size to order. The size chart on Shein's site helped me select the right fit for this leopard sweater. Another benefit of ordering from Shein is that, if you live in the U.S., you’re entitled to free returns within 40 days of purchase. So even though I had to wait one week before my clothes arrived on my doorstep, at least I didn’t have to pay extra for delivery. On the bright side, if you spend over $49, you get free shipping. As a woman who's grown accustomed to Amazon Prime (hello, free next-day delivery), that’s an eternity. As the clothes ship from China and I'm in the United States, unless I wanted to pay over $12 on express shipping for my clothes to arrive the next day, the website said I’d have to pay $3.90 and then wait six to eight business days. Once I added my items to my cart, I moved onto shipping-and my options were less than ideal. I spent nearly an hour clicking around before I settled on my pieces: an oversized leopard-print cardigan, a green button-up dress, and a teddy jacket. So while the site is easy and intuitive to navigate, know that a “shopping trip” won’t be quick. The amount of clothing available on Shein’s website is overwhelming, to say the least. There are literally thousands of inexpensive clothes to choose from on Shein's site. ![]() ![]() ![]() Highly efficient stoves are made even more appealing with artistically welded bases.

Between 18, Flourens wrote a series of reviews critical of Gall’s doctrine and of phrenology in general. The Paris Academy of Sciences, acting on order of the Emperor Bonaparte, asked the French neurophysiologist Jean-Pierre-Marie Flourens (1794 – 1867) to investigate Gall and his controversial views on cerebral localization. ![]() He aimed to provide empirical evidence to show that the brain was the undisputed organ of the mind and to identify the fundamental faculties and organs of the brain Gall attempted to correlate physical aspects of the skulls and casts with prominent characteristics of human and animal behaviour or human personality. This doctrine concerning the head, which is talked about with enthusiasm will perhaps cause a few to loose their heads and it leads to materialism, therefore is opposed to the first principles of morals and religion… Emperor Francis of Austria. Gall’s concept regarding the localization of cognitive functions, and that various mental faculties were represented in different places in the brain, was seen by the Austrian government as in conflict with moral and religious views of the unity of the soul and mind. This theory went against the doctrine of brain equipotentiality espoused by Swiss anatomist Albrecht von Haller (1708-1777). Letter from Gall, to Joseph Fr von Retzer …my purpose is to ascertain the functions of the brain in general, and those of its different parts in particular to show that it is possible to ascertain different dispositions and inclinations by the elevations and depressions upon the head and to present in a clear light the most important consequences which result therefrom to medicine, morality, education, and legislation a word, to the science of human nature. Gall’s ‘organology’ summised that, despite its similarity in appearance, brain tissue was not equipotential but instead was actually made up of many discrete areas that had different and separate functions. It seemed to me that I had never seen this organ before Flourens 1863: 180 I shall never forget the feeling I experienced the first time I saw Gall dissect a brain. ![]() ![]() The online platform has created its very own variety with a fantastic range of documentaries, comedy and sleep podcasts plus many more which are the perfect addition to your commute with the ability to download them to your device even when you have no internet connection.
