ABSTRACT:
A muzzle brake for firearms including a housing positioned at the end of a gun barrel which defines a gas receiving expansion chamber. A plurality of vent slots or openings are formed in the housing and are oriented to direct escaping gases from the chamber in an upwardly or upwardly and rearwardly direction. The chamber and slotted housing are so defined that reverberating shock waves build up within the chamber and escape sequentially so as to substantially increase the duration of the upwardly and rearwardly directed gas venting pulse and thus retard upward muzzle jump of the gun barrel and minimize the felt recoil experienced by the user. The muzzle brake apparatus may be adjustable to provide for selective muzzle deflection in any suitable direction or to neutralize muzzle deflection.
