Such is the case with firearms like the AK-47, which utilizes a gas-operation system. As the firearms depends on high-pressure propellant gases to cycle the action, it requires a muzzle device to seal the muzzle when firing blank cartridges, thus closing off the barrel and preventing those propellant gases from escaping.
