This feature is an additional geometry near the brake bore that optimizes the “path of least resistance” effect. This style of port is similar to a rear angled port however, this design has an added key feature. So, how do we get gas-directed rearward without losing it down the brake bore? This leads us to the final design we will cover. So a balance must be struck and the reality is, this design is not much of an improvement on a flat baffle design but often costs more because it’s a bit more labor-intensive to cut. The sharper the back angle is, the steeper the forward gas funnel will be. This design is intended to redirect the gas rearward to use some of the gasses’ energy against the forward gas stream of the bullet direction. This muzzle brake is a bit trickier to machine because the brake body must be fixtured at an angle (typically between a 15-40 degree angle) when the ports are cut. However, if maximum recoil reduction is a must, you may want to read on. They are fast and easy to machine and can be had for less. These muzzle brakes are the most common on the market today. This creates a wall for the gas to slam into which counteracts the rear propulsion that the forward muzzle blast generates.ĭoes it work? : Absolutely. The flat baffle design is a brake that has ports cut straight through 90 degrees perpendicular to the bore. The flat baffle muzzle brake is a huge improvement on the old radial design. The Flat Baffle or Straight PortStyle Muzzle Brake The intent of these holes is to act as the gas release from the forward gas flow.ĭoes it work? :Though The radial style muzzle brake does reduce recoil some, it is the least effective of the muzzle brake designs we will talk about. This is the brake with a bunch of little gas holes all over the muzzle brake body. The radial style muzzle brake is a classic design that has been used for many years. We will be discussing several of the most popular design types and their features as well as how well they function. There are just a few companies that are machining in house muzzle brakes to spec but this is a story for a different day. It is no secret that the vast majority of muzzle brakes on the market either are cast or MIM (mold injected metal) parts with some slick branding and huge profit margins, or they are an outsourced, machined part with not so exacting standards. With a wide variety of muzzle brakes to choose from, how does one choose from the gamut of availability? This article is not going to cover part quality or manufacturing processes.
