Agree.
I can see that to an extent, but as long as I can get the muzzle through, I don’t think that it’s worth the other drawbacks. That’s part of the reason my light is just behind the muzzle. At my first class, I was missing a piece of steel like crazy when supported off a barricade. I knew better than to put the barrel on the barricade but had done so anyways since I was most concerned about making hits and the timer than careful placement of the support. Ever since, I’ve strongly preferred fully extended handguards. For me, barrel protection is number one, followed by support hand placement and mounting options. Being able to poke through small holes is far less of a concern, and as I said, as long as the muzzle is clear, that’s all I can think of really needing.

I think it was somewhere between 30-50 meters, but it was several years ago so I really don’t know. Couldn’t tell you the size of the plate either, all I know is that it should’ve been an easy shot. I threw probably around eight or so before looking at the instructor and asking what I was doing wrong. He told me to look at my barrel, I felt like an idiot, fixed it, and the next shot was a hit. Also, I just think that full length handguards look better.
