I would not shoot it with a break on and not the suppressor because it would blow the handguard apart...Would it really? Last weekend I shot my 12" Grendel with Thunder Beast brake using an H or X style rest bag that's ~12" long...it reached within ~1/2" of the end of the muzzle device. I was worried that the muzzle blast would shred my bag, especially since it's taped shut due to a fried shooting through it. The bag survived. To be clear, I was shooting subsonic so that will make a difference. It just seems that if my shooting rest bag can survive subsonic blast, the an aluminum handguard would survive
Supersonic blast of a 6.5 Grendel.
Does anyone have video of this actually happening?
