I understand that a compensator vents the gas upward at the end of the barrel to help with recoil and muzzle climb.
I have read that barrel bushing style compensators only work due to the extra weight they provide, and the gas vents don't actually help, if you want a compensator that will actually do its job you must use one that is built into the barrel.
Is this true?
