I don't understand the anti brake mentallity. Muzzle brakes can make shooting easier on the shooter and allow him to relax more. With several style of brakes you can choose one that will not vent to the bottom or sides and won't blow dust everywhere. While brakes can collect debri in the woods they can also save your crown should you stumble.

Apart from that, if you're shooting a high power rifle you need ear protection...braked or not. If someone is at the range without protection, they are not being responsible. For hunting I use a Game ear, with all my weapons or at least a plug in the left ear (since I'm right handed).

Second, I have a few braked weapons including my 7STW that is a real scorcher. That gun is in no way as loud as my standard muzzle 16" AR15 in .223. I can feel the blast in my sinuses with that one.
