What happens here

The primary distinction for gun compatibility is the thread size. There are generally two types: 7/8 inch threads (often referred to as G-threads) and 11/16 inch threads (referred to as F-threads). The presenter notes that most guns encountered, including all those displayed, use 11/16 inch threads. If you have a 7/8 inch gun and accessories with 11/16 inch threads, you may need an adapter to ensure compatibility. However, the adapter is used to convert the gun's thread size, not the guard's or tip's thread size.
