Shockwave Heat Shield: Stay Safe and Shoot Smart

The Shockwave and Tac-14 are both powerful shotguns in a compact design. The compact design causes a rapid rise in temperature due to constant shooting, especially after only a few shots fired the base of the barrel becomes too hot to touch and the shooting experience is very uncomfortable without a heat shield installed on the shotgun. This is why a heat shield is so important.

Both The Shockwave and Tac-14 can be purchased with a Shockwave Heat Shield, these heat shields can be easily added to the top of the barrel and allow for a safe and controlled shooting experience.

Why a Heat Shield Matters 

Once you have shot more than a few shots, the barrel will heat up rapidly. A slight touch on a hot barrel without a heat shield can result in a burn, not only while reloading, (but) also while adjusting your grip.

A Shockwave Heat Shield is a protective barrier that permits air to circulate around the barrel while preventing your hand from coming into contact with it, allowing you to handle your shotgun free from fear of burning your hand. A Tac-14 Heat Shield is particularly important at night or in stressful situations because you'll have one less thing to worry about where to place your hand when handling the shotgun. 

Most heat shields for these shotguns are manufactured out of a strong metal such as steel that can handle the heat generated by firing the shotgun, as well as the abuse they receive during use. Many of them are vented, enabling them to release heat faster due to small holes in the shield's design. 

To be functional, the heat shield must fit tightly around the barrel and not move. When properly installed, the heat shield will feel as if it is part of the shotgun itself and not an outside addition.

Easy to Install 

Adding a Tac-14 Heat Shield is one of the easiest upgrades to your vehicle. It generally comes with standard hardware and installation requires neither special tools nor special skill. Frequently, it can be attached within minutes of unboxing the heat shield. All that is required is to line it up, tighten down the screws, and you are finished. This fast upgrade adds a considerable amount of value.

 Conclusion  

A heat shield can be viewed as an inexpensive upgrade that will add protection to your hands, increase your ability to use the shotgun efficiently, and improve the visual appearance of the shotgun as well. Adding a heat shield to your shockwave or tac-14 shotgun will significantly enhance the safety and usability of the gun. A heat shield is simple, will provide utility, and is an excellent addition to the shotgun you currently have.
