a cavity to receive and redirect the gas expelled from the egress; and
a wall having a front and a back, wherein the back of the wall is not part of any gas port surfaces of the compensation system and the front of the wall is a part of a gas port surface of the gas port surfaces;
the wall having a thickness from at least part of the back of the wall to a corresponding part of said front of the wall, wherein the thickness is less than a length associated with the cavity and the egress;
the length being a straight line along a plane that is perpendicular to a bore axis of the barrel, the straight line starting at any edge of the cavity at an exterior of the compensation system and ending at an edge of the egress at an interior of the barrel on a same side of the bore axis.
