LMT's Rebar Cutter Assembly (REA) flash hider/muzzle device

[DD977GM2]

Anyone have any experience with one of these? Id be kinda worried that an M855
round would create shrapnel issues when your roughly 35 inches from impact.

Anyone ever use one or have one?

I have access to one, haven't shot any rebar with it though.

This is the LMT page for the cutter.

GM2, do you intend on buying this product? What situation do you see yourself using it in? I ask out of pure curiosity.

Honestly, depending on the diameter of the rebar, A cordless grinder with a cutting wheel would do just as well.

Granted, carrying a cordless grinder and charged batteries may not be "Combat expediant" But, I can think of a lot better uses for the lead.

How many shots is it supposed to take to break a piece of rebar

Who would pay $170 for this fancy muzzle device. I can think of other things to waste money on.

-based on what I've seen cheap 55gr .223 do to rebar stands for targets at 200 yards, one shot ought to be more than enough to do the trick.
