"a compensator is a piece fitted to the end of the barrel of a gun. typically its a tube with holes in the top. its purpose is to limit the upward verticle travel of the muzzle when the weapon is fired. the purpose of this is to increase the accuracy of the following shots."

Some times it is fitted to reduce recoil in large cal. weapons like the Barretta M107, with such a large cal. (50 cal.) the recoil can just break your bones.

This type of compensator has T ITS side vents that are tilted backwards to redirect exhaust gases backwards pulling the gun away from shooter therefore balancing forces and keeping an accurate shot and no broken bones :)

Compensators, Muzzle brakes, Flash hiders and Supressors only add cosmetic appeal to airsoft guns. Some suppressors though can be attached to lengthen the barrel of the gun to allow the installation of a longer inner barrel for increased accuracy/range

No. If anything it reduces it.
