ABSTRACT:
The invention is an improved muzzle brake with the outer appearance of a perforated metal cylinder and an inner chamber composed of cylindrical sections, tapering sections, conical sections, and abrupt and gradual changes between the various sections. The brake is intended to be attached to the muzzle of a gun such as a rifle, pistol or shotgun. Holes running radially from the surface of the brake into the inner chamber divert a portion of the propelling gases away from the normal direction of such gases, resulting in a reduction in recoil. The holes are spaced about the surface of the brake along spirals. The use of many small regularly patterned holes results in a decrease in the perceived discharge noise.
