There are rifle/brake combos I will not shoot next to. I’ll wait for Mr. Tacticool to finish dumping his mag into that 5” group on a target 10 yards away while I busy myself elsewhere. Alternatively, shooting prone and getting a concrete table to break LOS between me and Mr. Obnoxious works well. Lots of rifles, especially with short barrels, have well over 10,000 psi of exit pressure - no interest in having that ruffle my carefully coiffed locks on every shot.
