"a compensator is a piece fitted to the end of the barrel of a gun. typically its a tube with holes in the top. its purpose is to limit the upward verticle travel of the muzzle when the weapon is fired. the purpose of this is to increase the accuracy of the following shots."
Some times it is fitted to reduce recoil in large cal. weapons like the Barretta M107, with such a large cal. (50 cal.) the recoil can just break your bones.
This type of compensator has T ITS side vents that are tilted backwards to redirect exhaust gases backwards pulling the gun away from shooter therefore balancing forces and keeping an accurate shot and no broken bones :)

∙ 12y agoCompensators, Muzzle brakes, Flash hiders and Supressors only add cosmetic appeal to airsoft guns. Some suppressors though can be attached to lengthen the barrel of the gun to allow the installation of a longer inner barrel for increased accuracy/range

Can you add a boss compensator to a A-bolt rifle?
It can be done.
What does a compensator do for a gun?
A compensator directs gas upwards, thus forcing the barrel downward upon discharge. This helps to reduce muzzle "flip", and assists in faster reacquisition of a target. It also reduces felt recoil.
What gun does the Japanese man use in the predators movie?
Beretta 92FS with compensator - 9mm
Where is resource for a 12 gauge Lyman screw in choke for a Cutts Compensator?
gun shops, gun shows, want ads, e-gunparts.com
What is the Difference between muzzle velocity and recoil velocity?
muzzle velocity is the velocity of bullet and recoil velocity is the velocity of gun.
What does a compensator do to an air pistol?
On a real gun it deflects the mussel gas and helps to keep the gun barrel from flipping up. It also helps in recoil reduction. In an airgun it is more for show and has little effect on the gun.
How can you modify a Crosman T4?
Add a compensator, weaver accessory rail, Red dot sight and tactical flashlight.
How do calculate the velocity of the boat relative to the shore?
Add the rivers velocity to the boats velocity
Which has better gun control AK47 or a Thompson?
If you mean more controllable during full auto fire, the Thompson would get my vote. Slightly heavier gun, lower energy cartridge, muzzle compensator.
Velocity in recoil of the recoiling parts of guns?
Depdends on weight of gun, caliber, load and velocity of projectile
What is a Compensator on a handgun and what does it do?
A compensator on a handgun is something that vents the hot gasses and pressure upward, which pushes the barrel downward. This is a way of reducing muzzle rise or muzzle "flip" which is the upward component of recoil. (The reason a handgun flips upward when you shoot it is because the recoil is generated in the barrel, and the barrel sits above the place you grab the gun.) A compensator is sometimes called a muzzle brake. The same effect can be achieved by "porting" a gun's barrel, which means to drill some small holes in the top side just a short distance back from the muzzle.
What is the momentum of a bullet fired from a gun?
It is known as the Velocity (speed).
