I guess you will get away with it having muzzle brakes on rifles but the thought of a nicely crowned barrel bouncing around in whatever grit and debri gets in there is disturbing to me...

I also manage to sit on my arse at times and that doesn't sound ideal either..

How do y'all mitigate these issues for this type of setups?

Tape and a bit of foam in the bottom. You raise a good point that should not be overlooked.
