electric tape does the exact same thing and, like reloading ammo, you'll get more for the same price you can get 10 for $16, or you can get hundreds for $5. if you have the time to use one of these, you have time to wrap tape over it, and the both blow out.
This'll work with snow as well. I know I've been skiing or running, fallen on my ass and found myself with a barrel full of snow. I think I'll be getting some of these.
In reality most gunfights aren't 1 shot 1 kill. There will always be a follow up shot when your stressed out in gunfights. Sling choice will also help the situation to and how you operate it. I only find these things useful in water type environments (with the dust cover closed of course.)
@mranalog using that logic, why do we have safeties? Not shooter would just use discipline and muzzle awareness to replace a mechanical safety. The muzzle cap a mechanical aid designed to help the problem. It's not the be-all end-all, and it doesn't replace discipline, but it's an extra degree of safety.
@mranalog Because sometimes there are more important things. Medical care to one of your buddies, a little struggle while taking someone into custody, getting into a position of cover while taking fire, or just fucking slipping and falling amongst other things are all things that mean you sometimes don't have total control of your muzzle.
When you have 1/100th the small arms experience of MSG Paul Howe, feel free to come back and educate us. Until then, why don't you stfu and learn something.
@glockman1727ak47 Easier said that done in a lot of cases. I think this practice applies more to those who are actually out rolling around in the dirt and sand with their guns and less to the range commandos among us. If I'm getting shot at and need to put my face in the dirt, the last thing I'm worried about is where my muzzle is going.
I plugged up my 450 Bushmaster out hunting one time. pulling the bolt, popping the mud out, runing a boresnake through, putting the bolt back in, reloading, and trying to be quiet the whole time. this would have been much easier.
@ALAPINO But the rubber is to thin and will bust with debri contact and friction . these caps are durable you could drop muzzle on a rock and still function later .

@cmelendez45 You ever hear of Black Hawk Down? The character "Hooch" is largely based on Mr. Howe and his exploits.

how about we use a little discipline and muzzle awareness to keep the dirt out.
