Muzzle brake for 300 win mag series#
There are two main kinds that I will address: radial and chambered.Ī chambered brake has a series of open ports that the bullet passes through. for TTAG)ĭifferent muzzle brakes do different things and can be used for different purposes. A muzzle brake forces the gas out of one or more angular ports, with the angle of those ports allowing the gun to essentially be pulled forward, thus negating the recoil impulse. The dramatic expansion of gasses can be tamed.Ī suppressor reduces recoil just by merit of trapping that gas and preventing it from expanding.
(Josh Wayner for TTAG)Ī muzzle brake is different from a flash hider in that it has ports that redirect the muzzle blast to reduce recoil, as it should be noted that the vast majority of a gun’s recoil comes from the muzzle blast itself. 450 Bushmaster brake is a radial brake that effectively reduces the beastly recoil of the big-bore cartridge. It has three baffles that deflect gasses to reduce recoil. The SilencerCo ASR brake is a chambered brake. It should be noted that, even if you’re using ammo that’s already using low-flash powder, there will still be some flash just as there is still some noise with a suppressor. These devices don’t reduce recoil and only come into play when firing in low light conditions or when you’re just trying to make your gun look cool, which is arguably 99% of what flash hiders do. Some flash hiders are multi-pronged and others have small slits or ports. A common flash hider is the military A2, which has a solid bottom to keep dirt and dust from being kicked up when firing. They just take the edge off for the most part.Ī flash hider - also called a flash suppressor - essentially just redirects the fireball at the gun’s muzzle in more productive directions. No gun is “Hollywood silent.” In fact, most guns equipped with suppressors are still loud as hell. ‘Silencer’ is a technically incorrect term for a suppressor as it merely prevents serious hearing damage to the shooter.
