But is the KX3 a compensator ?

[ShootfastRunfaster]

Although BATFE classifies it as a flash suppressor, the design includes a cone-shaped removable baffle. There is a reduction in rifle and muzzle movement when the baffle is installed.

Since it does "compensate", I think it would fall under that term. It is way outside of the dimensions set forth for compensators in most sets of rules.

I was under the impression that it tames recoil due to it's weight.

...as stated in this thread

The cone creates backpressure, much like a suppressor and some types of muzzle breaks.

The best thing to do is shoot it with and without the cone installed. You will notice a difference between the two, and it won't be due to the weight difference.

It's considered a flash hider. The weight does more for the muzzle climb than anything. Hang that weight out there and it of course reduces some.
