On a real gun it deflects the mussel gas and helps to keep the gun barrel from flipping up. It also helps in recoil reduction. In an airgun it is more for show and has little effect on the gun.

In what ways are fish bladders and buoyancy compensator vests similar?

as they fill or release air it will control where you are in the water. It is a lot harder for a fish, the fish have to get the air from their blood stream because they do not have lungs. Taking in air is harder because it is via their blood and they cannot release the air as fast as buoyancy compensator vests. Include all of this information and you should do fine. :3 your welcome btw
